Alone
but lonely too
It's hard sometimes
        to dine by candlelight
        and to be the only one at your table

But as hard as it may be
to be
        the only lonely -
"Only You"
whoever You are
can quench this loneliness

For loneliness is not filled out of existence
merely by anything that may seem
'vaguely appropriate'
like you

for in that case, such logic would suggest
that even plasticine would do!

No.

Instead I must
    maintain

myself
    dignity
and
    peace
within

        and if I can believe in it,
        and accept what is
            when I ask

            for the "table for one, thanks"

    then all the better!
        Just cruising,
        Flying solo, am I.
