Abandoned

Despondency stares in the face Dejection echoes all around The quietness of the night comes in a tight embrace Though silent in nature, still largely audible The roaches mock loudly Their bellies rocking with laughter Like humans they converse The mice converge, their adroitness they exhibit Erstwhile silent walls blink many times And with their hands they write Loneliness announces its arrival Playing its tune loudly in harmony with others Fear, most often times, is its backup Sleep, then silently creeps on board Its arrival unannounced The show it totally steals Ah! Alas there is a companion in sleep
