I Didn't Think I Would Know This Kind Of Loneliness Again Poem by Shalom Freedman

I Didn't Think I Would Know This Kind Of Loneliness Again



I didn't think I would know this kind of loneliness again
The loneliness of abandonment of rejection
The loneliness of longing for those who no longer need you-

I didn't think this sinking smallness and emptiness
Would come again
But it has
And here I am
Feeling useless unneeded again-

Reminded of greater rejection loss loneliness in the past
I will get out of this somehow
This is not the worst I have known
But it hurts as only desolation can
