Left Alone Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I doubt...
If someone has made a point,
To keep their distance...
They are saying non-verbally,
'How I wish I got more attention.'

~You're not understanding,
A mixed message sent.~

You're right.
I'm not into mixed messages.
And what I understand that you do not,
Is someone who clearly...
Has chosen to be left alone.

~But no one is happy being left alone.~

That's your opinion.
And the more I hear you talk,
You are giving me a lot of thought.
