By Deanna Kahler
A feather blowing in the wind
Piercing silence in the dead of the night
A solitary rose petal lying in the grass
An empty house
A single tear
A soft touch that escapes you
An ache that fills your chest as you long to feel someone’s arms around you
Holding you tight
Keeping you safe
But you’re disconnected
Separated
A puzzle piece that doesn’t quite fit
Emptiness encompasses your body and heart like a dense fog
You listen intently, but all you can hear is the sound of your own breath
All you can feel is the ebb and flow of your own emotions
Sadness follows you, even in happy times
Especially in happy times
For it is then when you realize you are alone
No one will share the moment with you
There is nothing
But loneliness
