Alone 2023 Poem by Tristian Ford

Alone
Not lonely alone, wanting someone to join Alone.

Alone
not depressing alone
Alone
Accompanying happiness
pressing the fact that the company is gone,

Alone
Like the kids are asleep,
Just like when Parents are gone
Free at last
Finally,
Like Macaulay Culkin
Peace and Quiet
in this home,
Alone

Alone
Not alone like the ones you have to pay back.
Alone
Like detached from an iPhone,
Fully charged
The wire is no longer needed,
Just dangling,
Left hanging,
alone
It's perfectly fine being all alone
Like a lone crab, no longer tagging alone,
amiss a bucket keystone,
Undeniably,
moving alone.

Alone
No pulling, pushing, or snapping
Not even an argument with myself
All this time, All alone
disjoined and not disturbed,
Standing alone.

Alone
Like irretrievable, irreversible
a mist joins with the wind,
disappeared.
Where have you gone?
Vanished without a trace
Yet,
I'm visibly happy,
alone.

Alone
Like unaided, single-handedly
getting alone,
Strong-minded, Self-sufficient,
exuberant and independent,
Most importantly,
I alone sincerely meant it.

Myself alone,
Loved you so much that upon returning to
Myself alone,
I realized the mask one had on.
Myself asked me,
"Why look out there before peeping within
inner self, all alone
Looking for something unconnected,
When your own connection
is connected wrong,
All alone.
The inside is soul tied, hitched up
and ready to help keep
you alone, protected.
Next time don't look to love anyone,
If you alone,
Don't Love Yourself.
That's exactly how hurt people
hurt more people
than they ever expected.
That notion alone has a gargantuan impact
on the fact alone,
love leaves hate
and yourself,
alone."

Just alone, No phone
Company long gone
Home alone, Hanging alone
Moving alone
Standing alone,
until you begin
disappearing,
No more Thinking
Just Sinking. Into oblivion.
Where alone, have you yourself
gone?
