Solitude

Sitting in my room alone

Wrapped warmly in a quilt

Cold wind blowing outside my window

Feeling not a pang of guilt



For needing solitude

There is a certain feel of comfort

With a loved one so close by

But that feeling is not near enough



When unable to see eye to eye

And needing solitude

Our dreams were quickly shattered

Hopes of a future are no more



Time we spent mere memories

Grieving felt to the very core

And needing solitude

Solitude for peace of mind



Time alone to heal

We lost so much in so little time

But our friendship remains strong & real

Now & in our solitude.
