The Ache of the Abandoned

To be alone is
Not to know oneself, themselves,
Any selves. The alone have

No peers. In the third world then
There is only pain, and you
Don't know what that is;

You can't define it.
Of all the plain, vague words, pain
Is the most present, the least
Amenable to capture.

What am I talking about?
Everyone leaves each other.
Everyone is abandoned.
Pain can hardly wait.
