I feel so alone.
Yes,
I know there are many
who love me and care.
But still--
I am a creature
who aches to be held,
to be touched,
to feel.
Just lonely
sometimes.
But I imagine
so many others
in this world
are just as lonely
as I am this day.
Even so,
as lonely as I feel now--
I still do not feel
as completely Alone
as I did
those years ago
whenever we were "we"
and he lived below
and I above
in the same house.
Together
yet so very
apart.
Such a sad
existence.
Strange...
I don't feel so
lonely
anymore.
I'm just alone
and sometimes
that's okay.
