I often sit in cinemas completely alone

Even though the house is quite full

The reason for this is that I am in each movie

Whether I like it or not this is my reality

It might be a western or a spy thriller

A horror film a comedy or a love story

I am always there in the shadows my head bowed

As if not to be recognised although I am desperate to be engaged

That is how loneliness grips you with her bloody claws
