Alone
December 21, 2010
A room-
Walls bare
But for a single abandoned web,
A bed-
Occupied
By only one person.
A light-
Dim and old
But bright enough to show the emptiness.
A shelf-
Dusty books
Inadequate substitutes for friends.
A pillow-
And another
Lined up in place of a partner.
An embrace-
Lifeless and unfeeling
Of a pillow-man and a broken soul.
A void-
Bottomless
In need of a voice, a touch, to fill it.
A person-
Lonely and sad
Without even a spider for company.
