Loneliness of Being One (To Will Liao)


against solitude

sunrise
sunset these mean
nothing to you who slip
in and out of awakening
alone

the pain
comes in waves but
never goes away it
stays to harry and heckle you
alone

in health
in illness and in
dying the most pain is
the thought that you are solitary
alone

yet we
who love you stand
in close proximity
we stay so you know you are not
alone//
