Going Down Lonely

Poet's note: The storyline of this poem is that which symbolizes the suffering of the poet as he struggles to get companionship. The poet is not able to share his pains and the challenges that life serves him. The only person he could get was himself. Likewise, he had no one to express his love to. The forlornness of the poet is the storyline of this poem. This poem was written a few months ago. The poem is written for all those who are stuck within the abyss of forlorn; dwellers in the ocean of despair. In the poem, the poet expresses feelings of loneliness, bleakness, lack of companionship, friendlessness, pain, and frustration. The poet has nobody to share his "scalding pains" with. Even the love that he has that is metaphorically symbolized by "rose" is not relatable. This poem means so much to me because in it I can feel the pains of those who are dejected by the claws of loneliness.
