Left Alone

I am lost without cause to hold, 
Down came the shutters; 
All I see 
Your face 
Behind windows, streets apart, 
In other dimensions. 

I reach out to touch you again, 
Failing bitterly, withdrawing; 
Your back is turned 
Your back 
Seen this before, to others 
In final closure. 

I am left alone with my gridlock, 
No care from you; 
And I ask 
A question 
For which there is no answer: 
What am I to do?
