Hi…
I’m so alone.
I want to talk to
someone—
I say ”hi”,
they say “goodbye”,
and walk away.
I wish they’d
stay.
I’m so alone,
each moment
I exist,
I fade away—
a group forms,
backs turned,
building a wall,
tall and mighty.
I walk away,
only to feel
the silence
beating me
down,
leaving me
lonely again.
I’m so alone—
But once—
I met someone
with a warm smile,
blazing like a
fireplace.
And when
that someone
comes up
to say “hi”,
I forget
I’m alone.
For a moment
I belonged…
But I realize
the fire
won’t last
long.
I’m so alone—
Someone asked
if I’m “okay”
only for me to say
“I’m fine”—
or “goodbye”
and walk away,
not knowing
where to go—
Only to
feel cold
and alone
again…
Goodbye
