Lonely

I enjoy being along, yet I don’t dare walk through life without someone along.

I need their company but despise their presence.

I laugh at their jokes but indulge in their silence.

I wipe their tears but they let mine flow.

I’m so lonely with them around--

Yet entertained with my self-indulgence
