Dear Loneliness,
For loneliness like this there is no cure
The kind that leaks into your bloodstream
From your contaminated soul
The kind that seeps in to your bones
Makes you weak and lazy
The kind that leaves a bitter taste
Battery acid mingling with your taste buds
The kind that kills your lungs
Like cigarette smoke biting off your years
The kind that leaves every sound a screech
A banshee yelling in your ear
The kind that you get addicted to
Even as it leaves your insides
As something no less than a disaster
Gasoline and arson
Vandalism and sharpies
The smell of them stuck in your nose
Unable to forget
Brainwashing by suffocation
Black hole created by detonations
Hole where your heart was
Hole where your insides where
Whole you are no longer
You become a void
Bottomless
Endless
Empty
Dark
For loneliness like mine
There is no cure
But pure unadulterated phony
happiness
