Alone
#1 of Poems
I have to deal with this every day.
Alone
Being alone,
I like being alone.
it's quiet and nice,
I am alone with myself and my thoughts.
I just wish...
I just wish that I could be alone with you.
you wouldn't get in my way.
please. Come be alone with me.
being lonely isn't so bad if you are with someone to be lonely with.
if you are lonely together, you can sort it out.
not if you are in cells,
a small pathway blocking you.
you can talk, you can see each other.
but that's it.
I try hard every day to find the key.
but, as I am told, time is the only key.
Time will only unlock this door.
no locksmith can craft up Time.
only the universe.
I get lonelier as I look at you through the bars, as I hear your voice;
your promises of love and affection;
your voice so sweet I could melt.
melt into tears,
melt into a liquid trapped even deeper in the cell.
with every word you say, I become pushed back further,
further from the iron bars that keep me from you.
stop talking... let me return to the bars and look at you again please.
I don't need freedom, I need only to see that you exist.
please...
baby, why aren't you talking?
I'm lonely.
another night spent alone.
