*A Mistake*

A Mistake

A mistake.
Being left alone
while the gaze
wanders
behind the unknown scenery.
Alone,
within an unsound crowd
among the unusual friends
calling on
inviting
into a strange ward,
into the hall of darkness.
A society
promoting the weird gathering
telling about the life
that belongs to the other side.
The unhappy one.

A mistake.
Being left alone
with my sizzling thoughts.
Alone with my thoughts
I’m in a bad company.

Oh Eclipse… so true, although being alone is something I cherish, yet at times I can be a bad company to myself…

Sometimes when we are alone with only our non-stop thoughts for company, we can get swamped by them. This portrays that so well.
Very good prose.
