I look He sees Our eyes meet

Across the room Full of people that Never seemed emptier

Standing on opposite sides Away from the crowd that takes Most of the space left in the room

For a moment the Full room doesn’t Seem so vacant

For a second I don’t feel So alone

For a minute I enjoy being Lonely together

Even if he’s just a Random stranger

Who looked While I saw As our eyes met

Here and there, A giggle and a gasp, Destined for flight.

A broken smile, Masked.

Sea of lament, Waves of chatter, Hiss of betrayal.

An uneven heart, Stuttered.

Across foreign metropolises, Electric moments, Blown promises.

A wayward soul, Crushed.

Never the same, Always relain, Loyalty divided.

Empty eyes, Shuttered.

Miles apart, Shared synergy, Housed together…

On one ball of rock, Isolated.

Heartbreak Coffee on cold mornings sugar is too sweet Without you here

Take a hike Look at the nature Gorgeous Everything is tainted

Music drown it all out nothing is worth hearing

I miss you

Youre better off Without someone Like me

Find your happy ending You deserve it

Find your prince charming If wasn’t me

I miss you

i sit at your spot at the table and i think do i want to be you or do i just miss you i take naps in your bed and read books on your carpet and pretend you're in the room down the hall i look at the couch you played video games on and curl myself into the dip in the center cushion because you never sat anywhere else i do my work at your desk and i ring your little bell sometimes because i remember when you first put the label on it and heard it ding one afternoon and thought to myself i wish i could give him a hug i leave bottles of water around the house like how you scattered your half empty plastic cups and there's tears on my phone screen right now because i'm writing this while crying and it's hard to see i see you every week but only for an hour i went looking for photos where you were smiling a real smile i found two i wish you could have been my big brother a little bit sooner

The feeling grips at my chest Pulls on my heart Compresses my lungs Evelops me whole

My mind body and soul a void of all emotion but sadness and loneliness

The silence is so loud its hurts my head It lwaves to much to the imagination I need a quiet silence

One friend among all they say fish in the sea but not to me for I am one in a lone tank

I sit alone reading a book scrolling a feed listen to me scream

I need a lover or a fighter I need a friend Or a survivor

Feel my heart beat listen to my lungs breathe watch my eyes blink We are human you and me

I am one in the same differnt though I may be Just a quirk Unfixable but lovable

I cry with lights out Write until my hands bleed Shower with lava and stay up till 2

I need a friend me and you? But no there are others You would choose first

I never come second or even third its the worst I am a last priority

I get texts on my birthday from people who never reach out People who used to love me But now our friendship is a drought

I wish to explore and immerse I wish to have so much joy I could burst

But i sit alone Bored at home a lonely poet dont you know it

But if you were my friend would you leave me in the silence or would you join me so we could be lonely together

She sat alone, the silence her only friend,
A life built on absence, on things left behind.
He knew that ache, the quiet that never ends,
The empty space, the constant, aching mind. They found each other by chance, or maybe fate,
Two souls broken by the weight of years.
He smiled, unsure, unsure of being late
To trust, to let the past dissolve in tears. "How long have you been... like this?" she asked,
A question simple, but so hard to voice.
He hesitated, his gaze shifting fast,
The word "alone" hanging in the noise. "Too long," he said, his voice a quiet sigh,
"Long enough to forget what it feels like to share."
 Her eyes softened, a kindred truth, no lie—
She knew that loneliness all too well, that stare. They took their time, their words like fragile glass,
Filling the cracks they’d learned to hide with grace.
 There were no promises, no rush to pass,
Just moments shared, an unspoken embrace. It wasn’t easy—learning how to trust,
To open wounds that time had sealed so tight.
But in the quiet, together, they could adjust,
And somehow, for the first time, the world felt right.

One night, she spoke of days so cold and long,
Of an empty house, of echoes in the halls.
He told her of the days he’d felt so wrong,
Of memories that still haunted, still called. And there, in their silence, they both knew,
That loneliness wasn’t all they could be.
Together, they were lonely—but with you,
Maybe, just maybe, it wouldn’t feel so free. They didn’t need to say the words out loud,
But as their hands touched, it was clear as day—
They could be lonely, but not alone in the crowd,
Not anymore, not now, not in this way.

You sit under the shade of a near by tree I sit under the clouds soaked in rain You lean against the trunk I look up into the darkness above

You never leave the shade I never leave the cold You never smile I never laugh

. . . Three months pass . . .

You meet my eyes I hold your gaze You give me a gentle smile I wave softly back

You don’t move from the tree I don’t escape from the tears

We just sit Looking at each other every few moments Sharing smiles Sharing pain

We are lonely together

the house used to dance along with us, the story it told:

• kitchen lights sparking to full of promise for the next new dish
• whispers and excited giggles flowing out of the bedroom
• a living room couch heavy with naps and cuddles
• clothing littering the laundry room dirty from adventures

but now the house lies dormant, no song to be heard, a robotic repeative dance in its place:

• wake up
• coffee
• work
• lunch
• home
• pay bills
• shower
• dinner
• repeat

i miss the hum of the house. i see you there. a roommate once more. stuck in this loop. somehow we have become lonely together, losing the dance along the way.

Alone together Held by a tether Of lonely love.

We each yearn For a loving burn In this cold life.

I hold his hand And we understand We are lonely together.

I was lonely I found a man We fell in love I didn't know what to say I felt weird Was he the one for me?
