Solitary Heart

Inside the moving throng
In the city that’s alive
Lives a solitary heart
Struggling to survive

More alone than if I was
On a mountain peak
Millions of faces around me
But not the face I seek

Listen to the laughter
The sounds of joy abound
Muffled through the barrier
Of the pain that I have found

I nod to strangers occasionally
But seldom meet their eyes
In this mass of humanity
No one hears my lonely sighs

I think that most know how this is...

Oh yes...the anonymity of city life. This describes it so well, and those feelings are quite familiar to anyone who has spent time in the concrete jungles. Excellent write! ~V~

We all are born from the joining, into the abyss.

How does it feel to really "nail one?" You sure did with this one. I would imagine you speak for all the others not meeting your eyes.
