We can be lonely together.

For the prompt silence, or lack of it. Hope you like it, as always, read rate and review!

The lonely are my truest friend

they treat me with respect-

and understand the necessary

use of my effect. 

I skirt around the edges

of conversations, it's true

I'm more a nuisance now

When I barge in on her and you.

I can reveal more thoughts than even words

and hide more secrets safe

Within my presence you shall find

a cage or an escape.

I will meet the world one day

at differing times of strife-

too soon to some, impatient to few

for the silence that intrudes on life. 

Reviews

[Wendy Seames Garner]

Oh, I like this! It flowed nicely and seemed like a mini mystery.

[ATG]

A very well written and thoughtful poem. There were no obvious errors and the poem overall was very well done.

[Jay Levon]

beautiful and well written

[Distant horizons]

Hauntingly beautiful.
