...not all alone

So as not to live alone,
We live with a dog, surround ourselves with roses or worship a cross.

So as not to live alone,
we chose make believe, loving a memory a shadow or any old thing.

So as not to live alone,
We live for spring and when spring is gone we live for next spring.

So as not to live alone,
some girls like girls and some boys marry other boys.

So as not to live alone,
Some have children who are alone like all other children.

So as not to live alone,We built cathedrals where all the lonely souls hang on to a star.

So as not to live alone,
I'll love you and I'll wait, it gives me the illusion that
I'm not all alone.

poem extract: Eloisa to Abelard by Alexander Pope

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd
