The City of the Lonely

By LiteraryBear

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

For the first time in my two year living here, the city welcomes me and reveals her inner nature She only reveals herself to those who are alone those who need a family It is when walking through the city alone that you are welcomed into the the family of the lonely and as you walk the streets you encounter many others in your state a fleeting look of recognition is exchanged and it is in this glance that the city reveals herself It is in this glance that you are taken up in her maternal embrace It is in this glance that something within you is forever changed and filled.I wrote this when I disappeared into the city of Boston one night when I was feeling remarkably depressed and alone.
