A quiet soul longing for connection in this loud and disconnected world The isolation is heavy cumbersome A physical ache My desolation echoes off empty walls down empty halls The words are empty today Unfulfilling Copyright (C) 2021 Penny Wilson

Types of Lonely
There are 2 types of lonely.
The first is where you shut the door and close off the world, looking for refuge in your solitude.
The second is where you leave the door open, but it goes unused.
–Dean Koontz
Apart, Together
I wish on the same stars. Tonight. Every night. We are apart, together. We two. The ache, palitable. I reach inside my chest touch it, caress it. Do my best to soothe it. We are apart, together. We two. Copyright (C) 2019 Penny Wilson
Being Alone
I’m an introvert. Big surprise, right? I need my down time and quiet time to recharge. I think that’s why I’m still single. I push men away if they demand too much from me. I’m alone a lot of the time and most of the time I don’t mind it at all. I’m not lonely except on rare occasions.
I think about dating again once in a while and then I think, “why bother?” I know how it will end. I’ll push him away, we’ll both be hurt and I’ll be alone again.
I’ve gotten so that I don’t know how to do anything else other than what I’m doing. I’ve looked back and I’ve always said that I didn’t want to be alone. But that’s exactly the path I’ve chosen.
