Dignity : Isolation

All I said...

Pick no flowers,

plant no roses at my side.

All I asked for...

When I am silent,

speak to me from your heart.

All I wish...

Respond to you perhaps,

but I leave it to you to appreciate its need.

All I seek...

An alternative,

when silence is not preferred.

All I promise...

I shall be so,

while you speak with your eyes.

All I shall be...

Unfortunately still breathing,

living in isolation amidst people around.
