She felt alone so much of the time
Ignored by those who said they cared
She sat in the dark replaying another day
A day trapped behind four walls
But then a voice from her past
Came back to her briefly
A series of texts from an old friend
Brought back the sound of his voice
And some feelings that had never left
Overjoyed by the thought of seeing him
The thoughts broke through her darkened night
Giving her hope for a connection
A way out of this choking loneliness
If only for a few hours
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – overjoyed
