Walking alone in the cemetery at twilight. Nobody to talk to.

In my dreams, twilight, and a beautiful cemetary. You made it so poetic. Brought a smile on my face and a momentary peace when I am thinking of dying. Here I am feeling lonely when I am not alone. Feeling empty when I have been filled. Having someone to have a conversation but not talk to. I imagine myself, walking in that cemetery, the peace and quietness, the solitude, it is calming. Better than where i am now. Among the living and yet feeling dead. While among the dead can feel like you are living.

@Pointless I’ve spent a lot of time in cemeteries, particularly that one. It’s a peaceful and beautiful place, filled with memories but with tinges of sadness. Once I was walking there at midnight when I saw a faint reddish light on the ground. In the distance, where the cemetery meets a dark forest, there was a glow where no light should be. I couldn’t help myself; I was drawn towards it.
As I got closer, it slowly changed to green, then blue. And I saw that there was a fresh grave there. On that grave was a solar-powered light in the shape of a plastic tulip, a stuffed bear, and a stuffed rabbit. A child had died, and some broken-hearted parent had left their toys there for them…and a light so that they wouldn’t be alone in the dark.
I could feel the heartbreak all around me in the air. After a while, I walked back home. I looked into my son’s bedroom and just listened to him breathing softly in the dark.
Cemeteries are for the dead, not the living. I visit, but I won’t stay. Neither should you.
If you’re thinking about suicide, PLEASE call this number: 1 (800) 273-8255. That’s the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. It’s open 24/7, and they have people who can help.
Cemeteries are beautiful and set a mood all their own. Perhaps it's not that you have nobody to talk to there, but that you are there to commune with generations of people and feel grounded.

I don't know, i don't spend much time in cemeteries but when i have there is a certain peace and quietness about them that lets you think about things you normally just don't have time for. On here you will always have someone to talk to if you just reach out we will be here. Sometimes though alone time is a good thing. God Bless that child and his/her parents, my heart goes out to them.

Funny...I went to a cemetery on a cold fall day after dday. I remember a year and a half ago, sitting, crying, looking at the couples buried together and mourning my marriage. Looking back I could hardly put one foot in front of the other...now I am working full time, raising my kids and creating a whole new life...still along ways to go but along ways from that fall evening in the cemetery...be patient with yourself...things to get better, it is just a super slow healing process.

@mountainclimber I buried my marriage in that cemetery…metaphorically.
@mountainclimber? I agree. very well said. I don't think people emphasize enough the fact that TIME HEALS......but in all honesty? it does. Magically, miraculously, time is the great healer. I'm five years divorced now and I'm definitely better than I was, say, three years ago......still have my days of disbelief (I'm really divorced? how did that happen? I never got married to get divorced).....time. Patience. Healing happens.

InMyDreams, Hi, this a a magical' post to me... I love cemetery's and I used to walk / sit for hours in the one,that is near where I live.. They are such peaceful and spiritual ( I'm not Religous but... I think, there's something... ) places and, especially in the 'moonlight'... Reading some of 'quotes' on the 'Gravestones' is so 'thought-provoking'... I just used to get 'lost' in the 'Enormity Of The Universe'... Many of the 'Sculptured Memorials' are so 'Beautifully Carved' by 'stone-masons' who in themselves, are a dying breed... I will say it again, 'magical' and thank you so much for the posting and, the words which, even though, 'only a few spoken', were in them-self 'all-encapsulating'... If you ever want to talk / chat / vent, I here... Sent with love, Trish x
@Osultrus I am like you. I am not religious, but I too believe in something. and I find it very soothing being in a cemetery. i go to my local cemetery often to visit my Dad who died in 1985. i still miss him after all these years. He was one of the “good guys.”
Thanks so much Trish, You a special, unique and soulful person yourself. Love anniexxxxx

@anniecastiel Thank You Annie… We are like ‘One’… I will PM you tonight… Sent with much love, Trish x
There is a certain peace and tranquility in the dark of night . Like most of the world is resting and recharging . I like sitting outside in the dark just listening to the sounds of the night . it lets me decompress without truly having to think about anything at all if I don't want to . Finding out what it is that truly gives you that feeling in live is something more people should search for . It truly helps you to get in touch with yourself

that would scare the crap out of me, seen to many movies, most didn't end up good.
@lifestough I’ve seen some of those movies too. But I’m an atheist, I don’t believe in the supernatural. So a cemetery is just a quiet place of memories, to me - even at midnight.
?
@Ilikemyself what’s the question?
Why are you walking alone in a cemetary?
