lonelier than she had ever felt

She sat in the middle of a bunch of loudmouths Drinking their various ales and wines, They were dressed in some truly awful costumes Most faces were made up, there were few masks It was Halloween, a festive time, lots of horrible pick- up lines Someone in the corner was laughing in a truly annoying way She tried to engage a few of them, but they ignored her They were all trying to look like they were having a terrific time. Watching these strangers in a pub try to hook up and communicate, Used to be entertaining for her, but for some reason, tonight, she felt lonelier than she had ever felt Maybe because it was another ill spent Halloween
