The Lonely

The place ,his haunt, he has been there countless times, this is the place where " everyone knows your name" CHEERS and so he mingles, most persons here are what we call regulars, jokes abound, the vibe here is charged with electricity. However, somehow ,he is detached and if you look deep, deep into his eyes you see his soul is wandering; it has been for a long time. he continues to mill around, continues the dance of the charade but even with everyone there he feels alone.not strange ,he’s felt this feeling from birth. he’s always felt like being on the outside looking in, that out of body experience, many speak of, and not having anyone to ignite some form of passion into him, to let him feel something, to give back, the loneliness keeps dragging him into murkier, downward spiral. Even his siblings , those by blood, those ex school mates,are nothing but strangers ,he has known these folks for an eternum and his customers they just like what he brings to the party, So he’ll continue to smile, to dance to attempt to fit in ,but truth be told,he’s running on empty because loneliness captured his soul.
