Distance

I no longer know anyone;
Not my brothers nor my sisters,
No longer my mother and father.
Those that sat at my table have become strangers,
The room once filled with people, holds only the shadow of conversation.
The eyes of my closest companions contain thoughts I do not understand.
I have not eaten with my family,
Or shared a drink with a friend, in a while.

As far back I look
I have been alone
