You're not a loner

A lot happens, and not much seems to change
who knows what goes on in the worlds behind this screen
in the hearts, the minds, the friends, the lovers...
here, or those that have come and gone

My thoughts, my mind, my heart
always spinning, always working, always thinking
of those not here
never alone, never a want to be lonely

my mind, my effort, my mission
of making others happy
and yet I
I sit here in the dark

another night
alone
not so different from those others
in the 38 previous years

and who knows what tomorrow brings
maybe a change, maybe the same old thing.
and so silence
silence I feed

and here in the dark
a wall to talk to
a page to write on
never lonely with thoughts of my friends

maybe feeling a little unloved
but never, never alone.

You sum up this online age as well here as Frost predicted it (indirectly) with his "Grex, not sex" comment.
Well, we never really do walk alone, but some times it seems lonelier than at others. Thanks for the good read.
