Relief

Searching eyes seek someone,

  Soft shoes, step by step.

Seeking someone's gaze,

  no one looks my way.

Isolation walling in,

  no friend.

Feelings bottled up inside,

  no relief.

Soft shoes, step by step.

  soft trail, step by step.

Lying down,

  sadness drowns.

Neck compressed by rope.

Lying down,

  forever, 

    feelings relieved.
