“No-one’s there,” I’d say.
“No-one’s coming.”

“Are you sure about that?” He’d say

“No-one cares,” I’d say.
“No-one knows.”

“Are you sure about that?” He’d say

“No-one’s listening,” I’d say
“No-one wants to.”

“Are you sure about that?” He’d say.

“No-one loves me!”

“Are you sure about that?” He said.

“Why do you keep asking me that?!”

“Because no-one’s there, and no-ones coming, and no-one cares, and no-one knows, and no-one’s listening, and no-one wants to, and no-one loves you. Who’s no-one?”

“No-one is—“

“I’m your no-one.”
