Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

Empty. Alone.
Here without a home.
I go small and shrink,
And slowly start to think.

Quiet. Calm.
Not a sound in alarm.
The wind won’t bite
And give a sudden fright.

Trust. Respect.
The bond that has been kept.
Stay loyal with this pact.
Unless you have a way to act.

Empty. Alone.
The colours start to show.
Now I bid you adieu,
Because I’m feeling very blue.
