The chilling breeze,
the gentle touch,
the sway of my hair,
I turn my head,
there it is,
NOTHING!
I see the rose,
upon my desk,
I feel the touch,
upon my lips,
I open my eyes,
there it is,
NOTHING!
My curtains sway,
the windows close,
the door stays shut,
my heart begins to speed,
I look around,
there it is,
NOTHING!
Nothing stalks me,
it teases me,
i look around,
see all the couples,
see all the love.
you look at me,
NOTHING!!!

Aww what a heartfelt poem filled with a broken soul's emotions... viewing others in love while realizing you are alone, and desiring what you do not hold. Such an original take on the prompt.
Thanks for sharing & best of luck
