Alone

Alone

Loneliness wrapped around my soul.
Longing flooded my heart.
Alone.

On paper it is written -
we belong together.
And the ring on my finger says it.
But I am alone.

My body, my soul,
they are alone,
and my thoughts are buzzing around
they do not reach you.
Because you're not there.

The cold of the empty space
penetrates deep into me.
And the longing for you,
for a hug, a kiss,
for closeness and tenderness,
is omnipresent.

Alone.

And with every hour of solitude,
every day and every night,
is only loneliness in the arms,
and the knowledge of pain,
of life without you.

Alone is alone.
Only with waiting and longing.
