Loneliness

by Chris Musolf Leo - Not entered

I wander the world,
searching for answers,
answers to questions,
questions unheard.

I travel to lands,
to see all that can be seen,
then I begin to wonder,
Will they miss me?

This thought crossing my mind,
over and over,
repeating through time,
then it stops.

It stops and I say,
they will not miss me,
not this day,
today I am out to see the world.

TO SEE THE WORLD! I scream out,
NEVER TO RETURN! I shout,
but there is no one to answer,
no one at all.

I hear no talking,
no screaming, no yelling,
no birds chirping to the sunlit day,
then I see, I am alone this way.

Then I return,
to the world left behind,
and see nothing,
nothing to find.

Nothing to see,
nowhere to be,
just desolate plains,
everywhere to be seen.

I realize there was nothing,
never a thing,
it was all unreal,
like some ill forgotten dream.
