Sad Sometimes


Photo © Dawn Allynn


Sad sometimes
Like the sound of rain.

I fear being alone

Not having friends to talk to…

Dreams
Only invade my realities,
Fantasies,
Only let me down.
Once in awhile I confide
in someone new

And usually find my secrets
Strewn about
Like leaves in the autumn wind.

Friends are much like
summer storms,
Arriving with little warning,
Departing once damage is done.

Simple smiles

Are often all I have left
To give the world.
