Loneliness

to be lone ly
is to
listen to y our he
art b eat in silence, to light one can
dle in the d ark, to watch tele
vision for com panionship and to d
ream of romance at seven o'clock.

to be l onely
is to list en to soap op eras
for abusement, feel an empty pill
ow each night, to count raindrops from wind
ow sills and feel tears s ting your eyes.

to be lonely
is to die
quietly inside.
