oh, yes
there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this
and most often
when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than
too late.
- Charles Bukowski
I love how short and simple this poem is yet it still hits you so hard at the end

I really like this poem too and I think it's because it engages me to the point that I genuinly want to know what are the things that are "worse than being alone?" in how did the speaker finally come to "realize" this after "decades," and, why is it "too late?"
too late for what?
I love how it reads like passive musings but at the same time demands so much thought and effort from the reader
I like this poem alot and I agree with Nicole it draws you in and makes you want to know whats worse than being alone. It makes you stop and think about the times where you thought it was too late for something or when you felt alone and just wanted to cry.
