Alone Poem by A Kal

I sit on my little rock all alone and watch the people pass by
They don’t see me so I just sit here and watch
Someone is walking this way maybe they see me
They stop I say hi they didn’t seem to hear I try again
They look at me I think they see me this time
Then they walk away guess I was wrong they
Just looked through this time like the other times
So I’ll just sit on my little rock alone.
I am sitting on my little rock all alone and seeing people pass me by
They don’t see me or look in my direction so I just sit here and wait for
someone to see me
Someone is walking in my direction maybe they see me
They stop a few inches from my face and I say hi they didn’t seem to hear
me so I try again louder I say but they still don’t hear me
They walk away without looking back guess I was wrong maybe next time
they will see me
Just looked through this time like all the other times
So I’ll just sit on my little rock alone once again.
I pull my legs into my chest and burrow my head into them
I begin to cry the tears are flowing down my cheeks they just won’t quit
I try to quit I start rubbing them dry but before I put my hands to where
they were it’s time to wipe them again
So I just let them flow…flowing down my cheeks
Someone is approaching me but I don’t care...they won’t see me…they never
do
I ignore him like all the rest and I let my tears flow effortlessly down
my cheeks
He says hi but I can’t hear him…I am drowning out his calls by my
sobbing…screaming he is…I still can’t hear him…I won’t hear him
He wants to talk to me…to wipe the tears off of my face…to pull the hair
off of my face
He sits down on his little rock across from mine and he waits for her to
look up and stop crying so that he can wipe the tears and pull back my
hair
She doesn’t realize the person she has been waiting for so long is right
in front of her if only she would look up and see him
I can’t stop crying…I’ve been holding them back for so long…crying so
loud
All I see is glistening white water everywhere on my face
She has been crying for so long…is she ever going to subside her crying
They are both waiting…waiting to stop crying…waiting for her to look up
to notice a person who has finally noticed her
