The Gap

there is a huge gap
between being alone
and being lonely.
You know-
like the gap between
the platform and the tube.
Watch the gap!!

Don't let yourself fall,
don't cross the line.

Hmmm... I like your text and its "underground" metaphor, but I think I will always be falling, and then getting up again, and falling, and so on. : )

Ah ha! brilliant.

Smiling at you

Oh, I did like this poem, indeed! It made me smile most broadly, and yet it is quite true as well. Loved it!!!
