Loneliness

Loneliness is ‘On your own’-ness When there is Just one of you

But it’s not that simple

In a room full of people You can still feel alone

You may be at the party But you’re not a party To what’s going on

So what is it that You’re searching for? Yearning Longing Needing

Something is missing But you don’t know what You just can’t see Can’t explain Can’t understand

And that makes you lonely In your loneliness
