The Loner is a curious fellow
His forte is simply being mellow.
His heart knows not of the vigor of more,
Only complacency was what it bore.
When he comes up in a conversation
His existence is often in question
But little do they know he that he wants this
Cuz' to him, anonymity is bliss.
He leads a lonely life, make no mistake,
He can not risk potential for heart break
But he does not know that pain is still there,
It's just buried in the desolate square
Inside his soul where his love should exist,
But he does not know it should be missed.
If only someone could coax him to live,
Someone special, someone with love to give.
Pain can come to those who live in the sun,
In darkness he stays, his story is done.
So, if anyone has ever read the Canterbury Tales, this was an assignment based off of that. The assignment was to write in iambic pentameter and write a generalized description of a typical person in society. I know I messed up a LOT on the meter here, but it still has 10 syllables. (points for trying?) Anyways, I haven't posted in a while, so I really wanted to get some stuff on here. Hope you enjoy and as always critiques and comments are loved and accepted.

This is my soul in ONE poem. The way i live my life. Wanting company, friendship, romance, love and trust in others. But too afraid to give it out (even little by little) in case it backfires....
