Consolation From A 'Friend' Poem by Kimberly Morales

You are not alone;
(even though that is how you seem to be.)
Some will notice you, the others won't;
(‘cause I’m invisible and you’re with me.)

I am empty; I’m like the echo of a crowded town.
I’m affectionless; I dry illusions and put your hopes all down.

You are not alone;
(even though that is how you seem to be.)
Some notice you, the others don’t,
(‘cause I’m invisible and you’re with me.)

You are with me; we’re like an invisible and spoiled presence.
We aren’t really empty; we are just desert, lonely, and full of absence.

You are not alone;
(even though that is how you seem to be.)
Some notice you, the others don’t,
(‘cause I’m invisible and you’re with me.)

We are together; I’m the company that you can’t see.
Won’t be there forever; just until you manage not to be with me...
Loneliness.
