Last Fish in the Sea

Hope fades as like memories of love

Time to return to the cave, to despair

The signs are clear, read them and know

You are and will always be … alone

No one out there to bump into in queues

No one online is swiping right, as they say

Few stay for long when they find out

Even though who you are is not hidden

They unmatch, ghost and leave or else chase

Unsure what is worse, their hate or their lust

But none want what you want, what you dream of

Not the casual fun they offer, you want ... more

A life, a home, to love and hold. Not just 'host'

So alone you walk, alone you ... I ... must be

Unless by some chance of butterfly’s wing

The one for me is true and waiting out there

But the longer I sit alone in this shadow

The more I realise, the more I will accept

I am alone, the very last fish left in the sea
