In a crowd I am alone
Struggling to survive
The vacant emptiness
Of the world
Around me
In solitude I am alone
With no one to harm me
But the pain of loneliness
Still burns
Within me
I have nothing of value
In a room full of treasure
For I do not seek
Gold and silks
Finery and pleasures
But rather
To be
Filled with another
Who longs
For me
