Plenty Yet Empty



Looking around with hopeful eyes
Quietly consoling her longing heart
She shifted her gaze from one to another
Trying hard not to fall apart.

Her mind recalled some legendary lines
Powerful words that made her think
“Water, water, everywhere;
But not a drop to drink.”

The puzzling site ahead of her
Resembled the famous poetic phrase
Countless people fill this world
Yet loneliness adamantly stays.

She craved to vent out her thoughts
A meaningful talk, have a good laugh
The bizarre reality of life crushed her need
Lips motionless, eyes spoke on her behalf.

As tears rolled down her cheeks
A harsh truth embedded in her head
She mended ways, revalued her needs
Strategized for the path that lay ahead.

Human companionship is a dicey thing
A balanced approach much required
The point of equilibrium remains unknown
The quest for it has left her weary and tired.
