Solo, 


so low, 


As the world around 


holds countless lovers 


wrapped in each others arms. 



On every screen, every corner, 


one cannot escape companionship, 


it haunts their lonely eyes. 



Only emptiness 


and their shadows 


accompany them. 



Lips that thirst for a kiss, 


arms that stretch in 


the wee hours of dawn 


to empty sheets. 



Memories plague them, 


from some other life 


before abcence, 


the abscess of love, 


a cavity in their soul. 



Seclusion brings cofusion 

and disillusioned, 

some stand on the brink 

of city bridges, 

seeking to embrace death. 



Others squat in 


squallid apartments 


totally apart, 


from what was never meant to be. 



Some never know love, 


and learn to love themselves, 


forced to love others from afar. 



Inside each soul is a Romeo, 


a Juliet, but often that balcony 

they hunger for 


overlooks nothing but despair, 


with no one there 


to call thier name. 



A bald Rapunzel, 


a comatose Sleeping Beauty, 


a Frog who never gets kissed, 


as happily ever after 


remains once upon a time. 

once upon a time......once upon a time.......
