To wake each morning but not feel rested
To have no purpose no reason to move
To hear nothing but your own voice bounce off the walls
Your only companion is your shadow on the floor
It follows you all day at least it’s there you say
The mirror tells no lies
That person staring at you
Pathetic you say
An argument unfolds
You cry but your eyes are dry
Tick tock goes the clock
You need air or else
Outside there is noise, colour, people
No one talks to you, some smile
A glimmer of warmth creeps inside
The beauty of nature making you sigh
Why is it so that you must live alone
Animals in nature have a mate
It’s not natural to live this fate
Surely you were cursed
You’re a person of worth
What did you do
But just be you
Dreamy thoughts leak
What would it be like
Someone to hold
Oh for a cup of tea in bed
That would be gold
Night arrives so quick
Your companion leaves
Shadows aren’t reliable
The silence is so loud
A cup of tea
Please …
