UNTIL I AM ALONE

“Until I am Alone” 

My loneliness not compared 

My heart’s feelings suppressed

Interaction hides my heartbreak, 

     At least for a little while,

     Until I am alone again

And seemingly without friends. 

My broken heart not repaired 

My mind’s severely stressed

Distractions conceal my heartache, 

     At least for the present

     Until I am alone again

And seemingly without solutions. 

My disappointment not recognized

My problem’s not addressed

Diversions prevent my heartlessness,

     At least for the meantime, 

     Until I am alone again

And seemingly without amends.
