Loneliness

The poem is about one person who opened the world of another person. To make it clear, I will assume that the first person is a girl, and the second person is a boy.

Although the boy closed his doors and closed his world, the girl still managed to open it. The boy likened himself to a rose. When you force open a rose bud (the rose is closed), you cannot do it without damaging the petals or the rose itself. But the girl, impossible as it may seem, opened the world of the boy, without force and without damaging him, just like a rose bud that is opened without hurting its petals.

Also, for me, the boy is living his life for the girl. If the girl wants to see him gone, he will die willingly. Willingly will he die because of his love for the girl. There will be sweetness in the death of the boy if he can make the girl happy.

The title of the poem was meaningfully separated. The first line of the title which is “l(a” emphasizes singularity. The letter “l” is like number one, meaning alone, and the other letter “a” is an article that means only one. The following lines, when put together reads ”leaf falls.” For me, it is a tragedy. Imagine you are a leaf, and then you fall. It means it is your end. What is more tragic is that you fall alone (leaf falls). The third to the last part of the title (one) means loneliness. It means you are alone. It is the same with the word after it (1). The letter “l” again is like number one, meaning, alone. The last part of the title which reads “iness,” for me again, signifies loneliness. If we break the word into “i” and “ness,” we can put it this way: “i” is a Roman numeral meaning one. If we put them together, the final word will be “oneness” which means loneliness.
