"... I wasn't so lonely."

Gazing

At nature's fairy lights

Against

A backdrop of swirling indigos, violets and black

Black
were my thoughts.

The stars couldn't stand out.

"I'm sorry,"
Said me.

For myself.

This little pity party for one.

Tears rolling

Hiccups barely stifled.

Why did I try?
No one was watching.

The rooftop was just like me.

than everyone else

But lonely just the same.
