alone in all seriousness

lost in thoughts
alone in all seriousness
leaning aimlessly by the wall
not certain as to directions
will it come to this far

-  might of loneliness tugging -

set in motion
searching for company
seething at the mouth
bent with emotions
regret is a known realization

  1. Pushing many away may not be grand at the end of the day.

    (Hank your link in the Garden was broken, I fixed and hopefully some pond dwellers will arrive to read this.)

  9. The feeling of loneliness is so palpable here. I agree with the closing line regret is something we can not sidestep.
