A glass of red wine spent
Recalling life's events
Crowded in my skin
In Solitude
Relishing a melody of lament
Drifting through my window
Gliding in uninvited
In solitude
Last night I cried out loud
Just to hear a sound
Though I did not hear me
In solitude
Drowning in my naked fear of
Living a life unseen
Yearning to belong
In solitude
I woke up in the evening
Read a book out loud
My voice wavering
In solitude
As the heroine yearned
In crowded isolation
To be loved
In solitude
I walked naked
In my new home
My skin in flames
In solitude
Every molecule of air
Brushing against me
Impaired my being
In solitude
It was raining that morn
When I came to life
My throat stinging
In solitude
I mourn not waking up
Next to my beloved
To warm my frozen hind
In solitude
I see no soul
I hear no breathing
I smell no skin
In solitude
I carry your imprint
Buried deep within me
And life goes on
In solitude
