Poem - Alone - 1989-ish

 

A LONE GIRL – written in 1991 or so

A lone girl

Sits and justifies her solitude

With a stack of books

 

A lone woman

Thinks she’s insane

And the moon is to blame

 

A lone heart

Seeks itself

In a throbbing body

 

A lone tear

Takes its path

Toward her tongue

 

The songs… the night

 the streets. the fright

 

Who am I? And why am I Alone?

 

A lone thought

Of being unloved

Pitches tent in her mind

 

How many of us are

A Lone

Am I the only one

A lone

 

When did I start to think that

A Lone

Was lonely, sad & bad.

 

Listen Heart!

We are all A Lone

Born and Die Alone

 

Who can know us, but ourselves.
