Alone and lonely
Time flies by but I feel every secluded minute
Loud silences and long-drawn pauses
The essence of existence
Every breath feels laborious ... so quiet and indignant
I hold my breath to feel some exigency
I watch the world go about their lives
so rushed, so impatient and aloof
I wonder if they see me by my window
a tear at a time...I feel its warmth on my skin
I yearn a touch, a voice to banter
Savored moments of joyous fun
I turn on the TV and let the voices drown my thoughts
Happy faces dot every screen
Soon you'll be here ... my hopes will take wings encore
