Alone

The darken theater held them there they sat she looking down and he looked out together neither spoke, they came together but alone. So many married years had passed each more alone. She looked down and chatted on her phone, he sat near me, we starred toward the movie together. They never knew how sad they looked together but all could see, and none envy, two alone. I shook my head and sat silent as they sat, side by side, they sat together, but alone. *Tritina

I love it Debbie - so estranged and at the movies yet. I've been sick and not able to concentrate on poetry. Nothing serious love, kathy
