This Room

This Room

There isn’t much of an echo
In this lonely room.
I don’t hear any voices
In this lonely room.

Are there other people
In this dark and lonely room?
Are there ears to hear me
In this lonely room?

I cannot tell, so cannot say
If I am all alone.
I would act the same and do not care
If I am all alone.

Is there a window? I cannot tell
In this dark and empty room.
A bit of light and noise comes
Into this empty room.

That is why it is hard to tell
If I am alone.
Faint light, shadows and voices come
Though I may be alone.

I think a lot and listen some
In this empty room.
I talk and try to work things out
Though I may be alone.

I am mostly content to be here
In this empty and lonely room.
But it might be time to close the window
Even if I am alone.
