Alone Together

 Words want to burst from her heart
To smother the man who was once her lover
But is now just a ghost
A shell of himself
And she is afraid to speak her words of love
For fear of being ignored once again
And left to cry alone
All alone
Her needs ache inside her
And yet in this house she knows
That they will never be met
By someone who does not see her anymore
So lost in himself
That his eyes look right through her
And see only his problems
Alone in a house together
She wants with all her being to leave
To begin her life anew somewhere else
With someone new
But lives in fear instead
That there will be no new man
Once she leaves this house
To meet her and sweep her from her feet
To take her away to the haven that she knows exists
Somewhere
And she will be truly alone
So here she stays with a man
Who doesn’t know she is there anymore
And weeps at night
Alone
Together
