Alone

She sits,
Alone, isolated, lonely,
Her life slithering away.
The chair on which she sits
Has become her only possession,
Her only comfort, her only company.
In a world full of people,
She has no-one.
And so she dies, alone.
People attend her funeral.
Family and friends watch her coffin
As it is lowered in to the ground.
Tears are shed for the woman who died.
She is not alone now.
People are here for her.
People care.
If only she was alive to see it.

ALONE
Her form lies printed on the sheet
Her fragrance lingers in the heat
What chance that we again should meet
On distant shores
