Solitude

Truly, I feel terribly alone!
Even amid all this light,
even in this crowd of hopes,
today I am truly so very alone!

When I sit by the window at midnight
and gaze intently at the night sky,
then seeing that sky's vast immensity
makes me feel so very alone.
Today I am truly so very alone!

Even drowning in the day's work,
even in the midst of a hundred crowds,
your absence keeps me so alone.
Today I am truly so very alone!

After waiting the whole night through,
served your indifference at dawn,
drowning in tears, I feel so very alone.
Today I am truly so very alone!

Swallowing back my tears,
hiding myself from you,
even among hundreds like you, I feel so very alone.
Today I am truly so very alone!

Trying to soothe my heart with your words,
losing all my own words,
growing used to your indifference,
even in a crowd of a hundred conversations,
suffering in wordlessness...I feel terribly alone.
Today I am truly so very alone!
