Alone - 5 Word Contest

we could see him walk the shoreline 
tears were flowing, mouth forming words,
longing for the nearness of the one he loved
his life he felt, was cursed.

told us the loneliness was deafening
silent words of love not used.
wanted to resurrect the times...which
were in his head, leaving him bruised

now each day is a challenge 
fighting those demons within
that kept reminding him...how beautiful 
how so in love...they both had been 

she didn't want to leave him 
no time to say goodbye.
was a  drunk driver who mowed her down
leaving her to die.

words used are as listed

loneliness
longing
within 
loved
head
