No one, it seems, is around to talk.
So instead I will leave my apartment, walk
Along the sea front in the bracing wind
Ignoring the hollowness, the lonely twinge.
Alone I am, one small person facing the mighty sea.
Everyone I know is miles from me.
Sometimes the thought brings a sense of achievement.
Other days, like today, it's a sort of bereavement.

Night
I walk the dog late at night, around the streets until we stand on the prom looking out to sea. You can see for miles, the water black and still. Emptiness where the town ends and the sea begins.

Why is it that my silence, Screams a scream only I can hear. My voice a distant memory, Still shouting in my ear. Why is it that i speak, In thoughts and to myself alone.
