Party

It was a late late night

I saw people dance in the light

Beer glasses topped with foam

Couldn´t hear myself in the music drone

It was an early sunday

On the sidewalk people would sway

On their way back home

But I walked there alone

It was late afternoon

The relief was coming soon

Dress up like a pretty party doll

Wait for darkness to fall

It was a late late night

Looking like a ghost in the light

Danced on the floor with pride

But felt so empty inside

A gathering of people without having a true connection can make you feel really lonely. I have experienced it so many times and try to avoid such events.

[Johanna]

I know what you mean, thankyou

Nice work Johanna... I know that even though at a party having fun it totally sucks if your lonely and empty inside. Nice write.

I can sympathize with the girl. I know how it feels to be empty inside.

Thank you for sharing this.
I can totally relate with doing things that should make you feel alive, but inside it's not the same story.

[Johanna]

Me too, thankyou
