LONELINESS

Loneliness traipses its way across my heart,
looking back over its shoulder-
and it sees that it is still alone.

Empty faces decorate the streets of Sydney.
And I can't wait to get back to Bianca.
*
But she doesn't love me as much as I love her.
And loneliness follows me home.

"and it sees" was "and seeing" originally
Context: I was in Sydney visiting Bianca, but going around seeing Sydney alone until she was free (but then she wasn't enthusiastic about seeing me).
