Alone

Alone

Alone.

Am I not alone?

They say I'm not alone.

They say I'm just homegrown. 

But the silence is stretching.

Alone.

Am I not alone? 

They say I'm not alone.

They say I'm just in stasis. 

But the distance has grown.

I am alone when I enter the silence.

I am alone when I cannot sleep.

I am alone when I am crying. 

I am alone when the pain cuts too deep.

I am alone when my limbs are shaking.

I am alone when I cannot speak.

I am alone when I feel like I'm dying.

I am alone when the loneliness hits.

I am alone in this room.

The voices overbearing.

I have lost all my capacity 

for sharing.

Lost the touch

of connecting.

My hands now following 

empty space. 

I am alone in this room.

All I have is this single thought.

I am alone, am I not?

Life has finally gone astray. 

Everything has slipped away.
