Loneliness, a constant companion

I surrounded myself with strangers so I wouldn't be lonely
I bound myself with marital ties so I'd never be alone
But loneliness I've found -
Is a constant companion.
And I always feel like
There's no one quite like me
No one except the ones
Waiting between the ruled lines of a blank page.
And when people talk
It sounds like an alien language
Their laughter like a Morse code
I was never taught.
