20 of 100 - solitude by *SirMischa:iconSirMischa:



She's still asleep.
I hope I won't wake her up
I hope she'll eat something today
I'll be away and cannot check.

He's awake at last,
thought he'd never wake up.
I hope he'll hurry
so that I can leave for the gym.
He needn't know.

I wonder why she doesn't talk
to me about these things
after 10 years of marriage.

I wonder whether he sees me
getting fatter each day
for 10 years already.

I don't think that she
smells the other woman
when I come home
exhausted.

I don't think that he
knows that I stopt eating
when he is not around
for weeks.

"She'll never know"
he thought in his solitude

"He'll never know"
she thought in her solitude

Wow, this is an amazing poem. I really like the fact that people can feel solitude even though they are around others. Very deep.
