Alone

You, standing there, alone. Courtyard, nine o clock at night. Impatient. Glancing at your wrist, hopeful, but deep inside you know. Damp pavement smiling up at you. Music, laughter, cheering, but you can't partake. Loyal, to a fault. Unreciprocated, unappreciated. At the brink of giving up. Blind to all around you; who all love you unconditionally. You, standing there, alone. Drizzle forming on your coat. Your footsteps, almost silent, devoid of confidence. Loyal, to a fault. Unreciprocated, unappreciated. Having started to give up. Blind to all around you; who all love you unconditionally. Rain pouring down. Music, laughter, cheering, but you won't partake anymore. Loyal, to a fault. Stripped of your confidence. And now you've given up. Still blind to all around you; who all love you unconditionally. You standing there all alone. Alone.
