Alone!
Your in a room, there is no space to move.
People are shoulder to shoulder,
People are all around you and you are unable to breathe.
You look around you again and again.
Realisation hits and the aching sets in.
Everyone is talking, general conversation.
Everyone is around you, yet no one sees.
All you do is stand there,
Not moving, not making a sound.
You think no matter who or what is there,
The feeling of being alone will never go.
The emptiness, the hole,
It’s where something should be.
The problem is you don’t know what is missing.
The only thing you know and remember
Is being ALONE.
