Loneliness

Today at work, I was helping a student with english,
the section we were in was exploring lonliness
and gave instructions to write a paragraph or poem on the subject.

Here's what I came up with


Alone

A shy house empty of voices
full, of empty chairs
full cupboards
but empty places and plates
No one arrives
No one is ever late
Dust settles undisturbed
only one chair
with a polished seat
