lonely or alone

A poem for the lonesome

Lonely or alone?

I gaze up at my deep blue ceiling 

Hoping one might find me

I search for what I’ve seen before

It cannot be behind me

Am I lonely or alone?

I crash and scream for all to hear

But can’t be spared a second glance

I save myself and cage my soul

‘cause I cant afford to take the chance

Am I lonely or alone?

I witness wasted chances

As would be loves pass by

Alone is how I’ve always been

And for this I will not cry

Solitude defines me

But lust reminds me

Standing apart empowers me

But the lone heart sours me

Alone is me

Because I chose alone

But loneliness has found me

Am I lonely or alone?
