    The poem expresses the loneliness of the author as a severely wounded warrior who longs to travel and experience activities like going to the beach, taking a train ride, watching a baseball game, but does not want to do these things alone. The author conveys that being lonely is worse than hell and that having someone to share life with would make any place feel like a home rather than just a place they roam alone.

    Lonely

    (“Gordy” Ewell, February 2011)

    Lonely is not a place to be


    It is worse than Hell, or is for me

    I long to be on a beach
    Near the ocean or sea

    But not alone, not just with me

    I would like to travel on a train


    But not alone, that would cause more pain

    A Baseball game, NASCAR race, or Broadway play


    I would like to see
    So Many paces to travel, to wander, to be…

    But not alone, not just with me

    A town hall meeting, a county fair, Any where


    with lots of people there
    But I would still be alone, and that to me
    just doesn’t seem fair

    Lonely is no place to be
    But who would want to share life, with a
    severely wounded Warrior like me

    No matter how grand the house I roam


    All by myself, it will never be a home

    Lonely is no place to be
    It is worse than HELL… or is for me
