Alone In The Crowd Comments

Rating: 3.2

Sitting at a desk in a brightly lit room,
Surrounded by people, but still so alone...
Fighting a feeling of impending doom;
A chill in the room that cuts to the bone.

A very heart wrenching poignant write where you perfectly expressed your loneliness with those elaborate lines.Wishing you to have the courage to fight it out.

Loneliness depicted in some beautiful lines- - - - Dining alone in a quiet cafe Delicious food still seems so bland Brown briefcase and nice attache Fighting to meet life's many demands - - - -When loved one remains away for long loneliness creeps in and life seems to lose its charm in spite of all available comforts.

The feeling of loneliness is awkward you feel it in a crowd of people, the alienation of minds and thoughts on what is going on around you leaves you alone, Awesome poem

the melancholic mind of a person, who has been removed from the comfort zone. The feelings are very true, but we can overcome it in a matter of a few days, months and years, what I have to write after reading this poem! ! If i had read it during the days of imperfection, i could have been severely demotivated and might sing along with you dear, now I recite your poem as the incident of the past! ! That is the nature! ! well expressed as I had felt the chill in bones too! ! !

This is a very dangerous poem for the writer. I cannot recommend it. But that isn't the half of it. This poem is a near disaster from a technical standpoint. One verse should be removed completely because it isn't needed. Two others are not as focused as they need to be. I can't say more. I just hope it goes for repairs. GW62

Please believe me Elizabeth! its just as hard for a man! love is very fickle, maybe its a moment in time, not forever? ! i believe! true love is for the young, it is they that are seaching, olders just need a companion

The climate of love can be very cold indeed when the heart is longing in vain. This is a strong piece that works as a whole to create the pain and loneliness of separation very effectively and poetically. The images and situations portrayed all sharpen the sense of a painful severing. jim

Know the feeling... hang on in their girl! As so many of us know to our cost, it's a mistake to pin happiness on one person. t x

I love this. This is exactly how I feel at times. Thank you for your comment on mine. It actually made me feel less alone in a crowded room.
