Never Alone

a wandering heart

By Valerie Akiko Published 3 years ago 1 min read

conversations with strangers, painted by yours truly

You’re never alone

Even when you’re not home

These empty faces and places you’ll roam,

Slipping away to stay unnoticed, unknown

But you’re never alone

But you’re never alone

Trying to find comfort on the streets,

But it’s brief...

Hiding the highs of strangers beneath-

These wants versus needs,

And all your good deeds,

And your good path to peace into pieces...

But you’re never alone

When you return back home,

These empty places you escape

Thoughts scribbled on a page,

Days spent in a daze,

And the questions you think-

The answers you seek,

“I’ll have another drink”

Eyes heavily blink

And you’re never alone-

Someone will take you home

And you’re never alone,

You’ll never be alone

*A poem written for my dear Gemini friend*
