Solitude

Loneliness frightens me no more.

Getting settled in

I am here now, five stairs up in this towerlike building. I can see the world from here but not you. I look sometimes, hoping that I will find you standing here underneath my kitchen window, looking up, but reality has struck me in the face only to remind me that it is nothing but a silly dream.

I no longer dream you see, not like I use to. I have grown bitter after learning life’s hard lesson one time to many.
