The Lonely Goth: A Villanelle

29/11/2020 –  Poem a Day Compilation



Were I not quite so alone

I might enjoy this solitude

But that is all I have ever known



I might let out a mighty moan

To convey this all-consuming mood

Were I not quite so alone



I long for love I’ve never been shown

By family that think my outlook is skewed

But that is all I have ever known



The bouts of despair to which I am prone

Might have somehow by someone been viewed

Were I not quite so alone



They just beat me to the bone

Their actions spiteful, callous and rude

But that is all I have ever known



I might not want to sink like a stone

Or bear the brunt of insults so crude

Were I not quite so alone

But that is all I have ever known
