Lonely

by Smriti Sriram

lonely,

we have companions

close yet so far,

 

these sleepless nights,

Pondering upon the meaning

of life and death

 

lonely,

being lonely

is suffocating

you feel depressed

but being physically alone

is not the same thing

 

lonely,

the feel like to runaway

the feel to stay in your bubble

such things bring pleasure to our lonely souls

But at the break of dawn

it is all lonely again
