Alone

Here I am alone again in this empty room.

He says he can do anything I want to do.

He says we can enjoy the view

Does he mean me or does he mean the scenery?

I don’t say a word, I pretend not to hear

He comes closer to me and says it again

I look at him and nod…he doesn’t understand

He asks why my face looks so contorted. 

He asks if I’m deaf or have trouble hearing

Still I do not answer, I try not to be vulgar.

I just don’t know what to say…. 

He asks why I’m so silent, why I’m so ignorant 

Here I am alone again in this empty place

He asks what I want but I have no response

Not once did he ever ask what is wrong

He says he enjoyed the time we had and we should do it again….

He never says what I’ve wanted him to say

He never says what I’ve craved for him to say

He never says “I would be anything for you.”

Here I am alone again in my own bed

He sighs and gets dressed

Mumbling under his breath

He opens the door, leaving me alone

Here I am alone again…lost in this world….
