I inhale
and exhale
alone
I am heavy with thoughts
that live in my head
I am beating and pumping
alone
It’s tempting to cling to
the façade of connection
to compose a story
that’s greater than one
But I hope and I cry
I wander and question
I inhale
and exhale
alone
These brief interludes
the bridging of synapse
soften the ache of
alone
And for a sweet moment
a fleeting reprieve
I transcend me and my
I am we, for a time
But I love and I laugh
I stumble and rise
I inhale
and exhale
alone
