Lonely but not alone
Lost in the vast expanse of place and people People gently and violently dying Craving, longing, yearning for a touch, a smile A sign of recognition Not aware of the need but wanting it all the same Cold, blank stares everywhere Mechanical beings walk the streets Heartless empty eyes stare into space Searching for something they don’t know Look into my eyes What do you see? More of you or something else? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This poem is birthed out of a corner of my life, a strange unfamiliar, familiar place.
