Loneliness A sea of faces all around, Frowning, laughing, glowing. No one looks at me Crowds milling, Hugging, nudging, jostling No one touches me Holidays, reunions, Families gathered to feast I eat alone Needing to feel a loving touch Aching to hear a kindly word Always needing...Always alone Lonely by © Barbara A.
