Poetry Time: Standing There Alone

Tweet

Hello again everyone, how are you all doing? I thought I would share another poem...maybe it will inspire me to write them again. Who knows. This is another poem that was in my self published poetry book that I did back in 2012. Not sure what year exactly I wrote this one though. It's another darker one; I'll try to share more happy ones too. Standing There Alone: If I had the matches, I would burn this place to the ground Leave without a trace, Make sure no one hears a sound It would burn as brightly As the lights shine in the city There would be so much color, It would be so pretty When it all was over The whole place would be gone Just a big pile of ashes Standing there all alone Photo is mine; an art piece I made to go with the poem at the time. I would love to know what you all think of the poem.
