Alone

What happens to someone when they live in a house full of love ,
    And yet have never felt more alone?
What happens when the perfect marriage full of trust and love,
    Changes?
What happens when two people who have shared so much in common,
    All of a sudden have nothing left to share?

Do you stay and remain alone for the rest of your days?
Do you leave and start again, hoping the loneliness will someday pass?
Do you work hard at trying to create a "something" to share?
Or do you get a dog?

I tried to create a common interest, something new to share.
I had my spouse name my puppy, to create a bond between them.
A hope grew inside me as I watched my "Buddy" grow.
But the space between two people grew, and they drifted farther apart.

What happens when two people who have shared so much in common,
Have nothing left to share?

It's funny how important sharing each other's lives can be.
There can still be love.
There can still be trust.
But, what happens when two people have nothing left to share?

In the house, where I was so alone,
I transferred my love, my heart to a puppy, my "Buddy",
My Buddy needed me in every way.
My Buddy wanted me in the same room with him, all the time.
My Buddy shared his life with me and I with him.
Once again, there was love, trust and companionship and something to
share.
An unconditional love, that flowed as freely as the raindrops from
heaven.
But, what happens to two people who have nothing left to share?

How can you live in a house so full of love and trust,
    And feel so much alone?

As events would have it, this person moved on.
And now lives in a house of her own and still feels so alone……….
