A Collective Solitude

There were many days I suffered in solitude
and now the world collectively shares my pains.
For while everybody remains at home to brood
their hopes and dreams slowly circle the drains.

I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone, that's for sure
as we're forced to let the pandemic run its course.
But this is a tiny taste of what some of us endure
the silence that comes with separation and divorce.

Our days feel like months, the months like years
as the postponing drives many mad with paranoia.
This anger you see is normal, as are the many tears
it's like waiting for the longest winter to finally thaw.

Though this lock down lasts longer than we prefer
even it will come to an end, as nothing lasts forever.
