I feel as if I am made of stone
 that my feelings do not matter
I cannot cry
I cannot scream
because I am
alone.

Whatever I say
cannot be heard,
whatever I think
is never registered
because I am
alone.

I am not seen, I am not felt;
when I die
no one will weep for me
because I am
alone.

And if I had felt,
if I had seen,
if I had heard.
If I had loved-
if I had been loved
then I would not have been
alone.
