A Case of Loneliness


All I have is the silence

Beside me it rides 

The only passenger 

As the daylight slides.

 

I talk to the silence

The only one present

A lonely presence

But still a fading crescent.

 

I can feel it there

Belted in tight

In a way a comfort 

For I can no longer fight.

 

The “friends”

They stand there 

But really

They can’t really care.

 

They know me they do

But if I was lost

I would not be remembered 

For I am not a worthy cost.

 

I am in the interactions 

But I am not ranked as first

I retain last place

I will always be the worst.
