Living Room

Living Room

When I was little,

my parents spent

all their time in their

bedroom

with the door 

closed.

I wasn't welcome.  

I spent 

all my time in the 

living room

watching tv

ever hopeful they would come

and speak to me,

see me.

They never did.

Now, I am grown.

My husband and children spend

all their time in their

bedrooms

with the doors

closed.

I spend

all my time in the 

living room

still ever hopeful.

How am I in the 

same room still?

I'm so lonely
