A Walk at Night

All these people:

Paired off,

Complete -

Or streaking by

Brightly on bicycles,

Busily flying and still they

Manage a quick wave

And a smile...

 

All these people:

Purposeful,

Paired off,

Complete.

I weave among them;

I smile among them.

 

It's so much easier

To cry when you're alone;

It spoils you.

So then there's always that

One ******* tear,

 

And the getaway,

Not to disturb these people

Paired purposefully.

These people smiling,

 

And I

Hemorrhage.
