Isolation.

Solo,
so low,
As the world around them
holds countless lovers
wrapped in each other's arms.
On every screen, and every corner,
one cannot escape companionship,
it haunts their lonely eyes.
it haunts their lonely eyes
Only emptiness
and their shadows
accompany them.
Lips that thirst for a kiss,
arms that stretch in
the wee hours of dawn
to empty sheets.
Memories plague them,
from some other life
before abcence,
the abscess of love,
is a cavity in their soul.
Seclusion brings cofusion
to the disillusioned,
While others squat in
squalid apartments
left totally apart,
from what was never meant to be.
Some never know love,
or learn to love themselves,
and they're forced to love others
from afar...........
Inside each soul is a Romeo,
a Juliet, but often that balcony
they hunger for overlooks
nothing but despair,
with no one there
to call their names.
A bald Rapunzel,
a comatose, Sleeping Beauty,
a Frog who never gets kissed,
as happily ever after
remains once upon a time.
once upon a time.....once upon a time.......
