Going Down Lonely Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLBBMNKOBB JBJPQRJ

I sail on a dark lonely roadA
Where scalding pains reside within meB
Yet there is no ear to pour them intoC
I confide in my heartD
But it seems it has borne enoughE
As it struggles to convey them for my eyes to beholdF
My hands are always openG
With roses to shareH
But no one to clasp my chestI
All day long my roses shed tearsJ
Flowing beneath me like the NileK
Too deep for me to drownL
Life scowls upon meB
And all my companions on this journey desert meB
When I weepM
My longing for a comforting hand goes unfulfilledN
Because no one is willing to trade a smileK
I spend my days in a bewildering whirlwindO
Even in this chaos the hands of men elude meB
My open hands grow wearyB
The beautiful rose flower's neck droopsJ
And I grow even lonelierB
The struggle within me intensifiesJ
As I continue to tread forwardP
I become weak and fearfulQ
My soul begins to panicR
Until I bow my head in miserable lonelinessJ

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.
