fading life

Is it possible to feel alone as urgently as an excruciating stomach ache; as imperative and all consuming
Is it possible to feel alone constantly and insatiably.
Is it possible to feel alone
In myriad shimmering shades
Is it possible to feel alone,
Terribly alone, when one is not
when i was a child it seemed strange that
one day you are so alive, and then suddenly you die
but as i grow older i realise,
you die one day at a time
