Sounds

If you hear the sound of the key in the lock
When you come home at night
Know that you are alone

If you hear a small cracking sound
When you push the light switch
Know that you are alone

If the sound of your heart doesn’t let you sleep
When you go to bed
Know that you are alone

If you hear that time is nibbling
The books and papers in your room
Know that you are alone

If a voice from the past
Is calling you to the old days
Know that you are alone

If you want to escape from loneliness
Without appreciating it
You are totally alone even if you can escape
