“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.” ~F. Scott Fitzgerald
Come sit awhile and chat with me, I’m lonely on my own.
I think I lost my way and now I’m far from home.
It’s cold and damp and always bleak
And the others are too shocked to speak
Come sit awhile and chat with me, I’m lonely on my own
It’s not a place for the faint of heart, and none of us wanted to depart
I’m not afraid, my fears are gone, nothing left to look upon
Pull up a chair and say you care and tell me I’m not alone
Come sit awhile and chat with me, I’m lonely on my own
Watch the poppies blowing in the breeze, Come and sit please.

Poppies are a favorite flower of mine. I’ve not paired poppies with lonely before. You’ve taken me down a new path with your post. Nice, Sue.

Thank you Ethel for your comments. I think this particular week as we come closer to Remembrance Sunday poppies are on my mind and when I think of them blowing in a field far away, loneliness associates with it.🙂

Bravo Susan. An emotional and touching poem that makes one appreciate the plight not only of soldiers in the field but also the many people who feel the isolation and personal loneliness that life sends their way. Thank you for sharing this exquisite poem. Hugs.
