Alone, always alone

 Alone, always alone 


Days filled with much a hustle and bustle
Night dawns, the moon glistening through
Silence broken by the trickle of water 
Heard from somewhere not known 
No sound of a cricket nor night creature
For I lodge on a high floor
Awake, alone, always alone

Many a people crossed my road
For some I yearned to be with more
But they all moved on, long gone
Crossed this dimension to another
Or to people who fulfilled their lives more
I tried, but never belonged 
Here I am alone, always alone

Not that life's not been good
Not that amazing people have not crossed my path
But it only takes a fleeting moment
To change everything 
The realisation acute and true
Destiny's a choice? I don't know
I move on alone, always alone 

I laugh at myself, Kudos drama queen!
But the turmoil in my head, the heaviness at heart
The screaming voice in my head
Breaking the vow of peace,
Demanding to be useful 
And I shout back, How!
Pondering alone, always alone
