Loneliness isle

Stuck on an island with only a boat,

Why won’t anyone find me?

I see inhabitants on other shores,

Laugher and chatter welcomely, distractingly loud.

How do they mesh so well?

I should be with them, could be with them?

I don’t know.

Excuses, reasons, stages of denial,

The close neighbours I keep around.

I kick and shout throwing everything about.

Loneliness washes over, the oars surf to shore once more,

ready for another tantrum on loneliness isle
