Elucidating Questions

It’s difficult to know, to realise

To know

You’ve never been loved

All the people

You’ve met just fell away

Never worried about losing you

Never got as attached as you

Never did

That you’ve never been loved

That no one thinks about you and misses you

Because you’ve never shut anyone out in a way they couldn’t get to you

They’re not coming

Circling the cage

The cage is getting smaller

Hands on ears fetal sitting occupying

Living in the cage

He steps foot around it

One two three

Turn

One two three

Only pacing two sides of four about-face

Alone in the cage

No one is coming

He whispers

They never loved you

They never cared

Gone one and all and those who are aren’t afraid to lose you

Not one person is afraid to lose me

What a pitiful state alone tonight alone in the cage

Though I may be alone tonight alone in the cafe

The only one open

But no one will find me

And another day will pass

Empty handed

Bag ripped to shreds

The contents long gone

The road never ends

My god

It never ends
