I awakened with nothing upon my mind;
a breeze of emptiness ran thru my soul;
I felt so alone; the world, undefined;
I needed somehow to be made whole.
Being alone is life’s greatest sorrow;
causing inexpressible pain;
knowing it stretches deep into tomorrow;
threatening forever, to reign.
Thoughts, unexpressed, held deep within;
to which none other relate;
fractured schedules; unable to begin;
all due to the loss of a mate.
We were not designed to live alone;
created as a part of plurality;
how can a house ever be a home;
housing only one personality?
We can survive the loss of one close;
for death is not ever the end;
still we remain depressed and morose;
until we’re matched with a friend.
By ourselves, we’re half of a being;
seeking another kindred soul;
using our heart to help our eyes seeing;
togetherness makes us both whole.
Loneliness stunts all our growth;
we need not let sorrow reign;
two souls together; become both;
and both, learn to love once again.
