Loneliness


Loneliness circles overhead

Her silent song only heard by those who know her
 
He drifts down the hall
Noticed only by those who fear him
 
Loneliness is a silent roar
Bashing itself against others' souls
Demanding to be acknowledged 
By those who would rather see it dead
 
However once it is accepted
Loneliness is your companion 
 
She will stay with you
He will never leave 
Even when all else abandons 
And is destroyed
 
Loneliness will wrap you in its warm embrace
And spread its chill to you
