Notes About The Poem

Down a lonely spiral

He sat alone as outcast.
Cut himself off all family and friends.
Dark thoughts circling above him.

A familiar tale. Loneliness contracts the heart. The world drifts past, indifferent.

Sometimes you can see those thoughts swirling above someone you care for and wish you could get closer too, but while in a spiral there is nothing else for them. Makes you want to shake them - tell you care. Thank you
