Alone
Alone
How easily they claim that you have changed not bothering to take a look at themselves,
How easily they mock your scars not discerning the story it limns,
How easily they ignore your pain not perceiving the ache it brings,
How easily they scorn at your silence not scrutinizing the storm of words it hides,
How easily they believe your smiles not glimpsing the unshed tears in your eyes,
How easily they leave you not realizing being alone was your worst fear.
