Sitting at a desk in a brightly lit room, <br />Surrounded by people, but still so alone... <br />Fighting a feeling of impending doom; <br />A chill in the room that cuts to the bone. <br /> <br />I've not seen your face in many a day. <br />The thought of you makes my heart ache so. <br />Missing your voice; it' so hard to be gay. <br />Happiness escapes wherever I go. <br /> <br />Dining alone in a quiet cafe'. <br />Delicious food still seems so bland. <br />Brown briefcase; a nice attache'. <br />Fighting to meet life's many demands. <br /> <br />I'm trying to pull myself together <br />Before I completely fall apart. <br />Battling to stay above the weather <br />That brings a chill to my lonely heart.<br /><br />Elizabeth Sheaffer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-in-the-crowd/
