Alone

Alone

He sits beside the window in the coffee shop

He watches the people go by wondering

He wonders what are they thinking or saying or feeling

His mind goes back to his youth

The drinking

The drugs

He’s clean and sober now, yet alone

He goes home to a busy house

It has people coming and going all day

None to see him

He sits in his room most of the day

Making tea is his only past time

When he can He talks in a loud voice

He sits in that room alone both physically and mentally

He has no friends

He’s alone

All alone
