Alone Comments

Rating: 4.3

Day by day, I wake alone, in a cold and empty bed,
Day by day, thoughts of you, keep running through my head.
I wake and wish this day would be the one I see your smile
I sit and wait to see your face, I'm living in denial.

This happened to be the very first poem which I read on Poem Hunter, back in about 2013. Right away I liked the theme of loneliness at night, and missing that special person. Alone in a cold, empty bed. I liked the longer lines, which had a regular rhyme scheme in the aabb pattern-rhyming couplets.

A very nice poem. Apart from the obvious rhymes, the poem has a good rhythm. However the rhythm is lost is last stanza at 2 places. The second part of the second line (maybe love needs to be preceded by a single syllable adjective) . The second part of the last line has an extra syllable/word. (maybe 'alone' needs to be deleted) .
