This is a poem I started when I spent a couple of weeks at home by myself. On the second night, I got really lonely. No one else was home or could talk, but I got on the net and found URGE OVERK{LL. He helped me calm down and stop crying. I finished this poem after that..

Solitary King

The loneliness sets in again as I am all alone.
How could I have ever thought I wanted this?
The solitary king on his solitary throne.
The tears start to stain my cheeks,
And, looking for someone, out in the night I reach.
Words across the miles I think will bring me peace.
Yet, it is a human voice I seek.
All alone once again,
I start to feel
The familiar pain set in.
I wish there were a way
I could reach you.
It is only you who has the power
To calm and sooth.
Dial my number,
Get in your car.
Pick up the phone
Only if it’s too far.
Drop me a line
Or stop on by.
I need to here
to hold me when I cry.
