Alone

I scream at the blanket of star above me

Where are you?

I beg for a response, a reply, a gesture, but I find nothing

Where are you?

I can’t hear your voice anymore, although I listen earnestly, endlessly

Where are you?

I can’t find my way out of this flat, dark place

Where are you?

I remember the times you held me close, told me things, showed me dreams, pictures, words, but now my senses are dead to you

Where are you?

Am I truly alone here, or just deaf and blind to everything you say

Will you ever come back to me?
