To Be Alone

If you really want to be alone,
Surround yourself by people,
Acknowledge each and every one of them.
Then procede to keep all,

Conversation on the topic of you,
And, unless you're attractive beyond belief,
You will start to see them each shut down,
To your relief,

For everyone likes to talk about herself,
But it's the listeners who merit true friends,
And usually from the beautiful ones,
Because who else could you stand,

To listen to, right?
Because some trade-off's necessary,
You listen to the droning of someone else,
And she let's you gaze at her beauty.
