Alone in New York City

Taking time to appreciate the chaos around me

I stand still

Another blank face in the crowd

The rain is hitting my coat, with the power of a thousand needles

I watch from the outside of a cafe

Lovers , friends and families

Window shopping for a life I’ll never be apart of

At night the city is a hazy dream

Over looking central park from my apartment

These memories are haunting me

The moon beams have left me now

How many more are lost, yearning to be free

Staying up until the early morning

This is the city that never sleeps
