Alone

The quiet oak whispers,
A sad song
But the song
Of cries, and
Absent laughter:

Someone,
Just someone.
An aquaintence,
Or a love.
To ease your hurt.

It's not the absence
Of them
That's the cause,
Or even
The hurt.

It's when
You're all alone
And have
No one to hug

The feeling
You get,
When you're broken
But you can't let it go.

A face,
In the pillow
Is all.
And the feeling
Of loneliness,
Again.

The Oak stands
Alone, too.
But the Oak
Still tells,
Of those, who's
Whispers are not heard.
