Eating Alone

Calling anyone today? What time
Is it?Too early for dinner, too late
For lunch. Eating alone is depressing:
Staring at an empty chair, chewing
Slowly, making dinner last all night
And skipping dessert because you
Have no one to share it with. No one
To share uncomfortable silences; to
Ask you how your food tastes; how
Your day was and what youre doing
Tomorrow. Watching people around
You, enjoying their food, enjoying
Their conversations about how sad
You look eating by yourself; about
How nice it is to have someone to
Help fill the gaps between ordering
Appetizers and calculating the tip on
A cocktail napkin. Gratuitous glances
Over your shoulder: watching the door
For a quick glimpse of people walking
Hand-in-hand toward their table, not
Aware of your presence. Getting up
To leave and realizing you have no
One to wait for - no reason to hold
The door so, you go home to an
Empty apartment and a refrigerator
Full of doggy bags and leftovers.

Awww this is so sad....and yea it is very depressing to eat alone and do all these things alone.....i have found what's most depressing is when im out in public and i see people kissing, holding hands, and doing all that love stuff...that's what i find hard to cope with...it's very painful...thanks for sharing this one it gives one alot to think about...
