Dear Loneliness

Dear Loneliness,

     You know me well

      I see you, I hear you, I touch you,

      In the shadows where you dwell.

      I see you in my mother's eyes,

      When my father leaves on his trips agains

      And I lock myself away, behind this broken disguise.

     I hear you in my friends' laughter,

     As I stand, quietly fading away

     And continue to not even matter, as they continue to chatter.

     I touch you in my lover's lips,

     My lover, whom I feel so distant towards,

     Even when he's right there, standing at my fingertips.

     Only you, Loneliness, do you know my heart.

     Only you, Loneliness, until death do we part.
