Of Longing and Belonging
A poem
This ache I feel, will it ever go away?
I stand outside a window, a candle flickers on it's sill.
The room is lit with firelight and laughter emanates from within.
The night is cold and windy. My coat, threadbare.
I watch, with aching longing, the family warm within.
Will I ever find my home? The place where I belong?
Or is my life to be a lonely one,? To watch, but not fit in.
I don't know where my path leads, or where I'm even from.
I wander where my feet decide and hope I find an end.
Someday. Someday. I whisper to myself, and turn away, to once again,
be lonely, by myself.
