Lonely Together
A Poem
I realise now
that it is hopeless to seek comfort in you,
seek company within you,
when you are just as lonely as I.
You do not do many things well,
but you sure can lie.
I thought that all of these people adored you
and spent time with you because
you are happy and
you are fun.
What a beautiful web you have spun, my love.
I realise now
that you seek validation in others
just as I do.
And you, too, need people near.
Only you do not care who.
I see you as you are,
without the bright lights and the facade.
It is okay,
we can be lonely together, my love.
