To You

You who goes by "Lonely"

Yes you, who reads these rhymes

Please pause here for a moment

I won't take much of your time

 

You see my friend, I'm lonely too

In the dark with paper and pen

So I'm writing you this poem

and signing it "Your Friend"

 

Though I'll prob'ly never see you

nor ever know your name

I do not need to see your face

nor know your cash and fame

 

I do not care what color you are

how short or tall or fat

I'm weary of all these parties and creeds

So, for a moment, forget all of that

 

Yes you, dear friend, forget with me

Inhale this moment serene

where we are not opinions or castes

Just two humans with two glowing screens

 

Be human with me, simple and pure

For a moment breathe deep and feel free

then should you have the time, and a halfway good rhyme

Perhaps write a poem for me.

 

Signed,

Your Friend

This one isn't great, but I don't really care. I would normally throw something like this away, but the afterimage of hope made me wonder if maybe it would strike a chord with someone somewhere. I promise to post more polished verse in the future, but all the same, thank you for reading. -ES
