Loneliness


Loneliness 

A feeling all too real

I can't stand it

It scares me

I need someone to talk to 

To understand me

To be with me

Being alone 

Makes me feel like I'm on a boat in the middle of nowhere 

When someone's with me I'm strong

I'm human

Not some pile in the corner 

The feeling of not being able to make it without someone

Breaks me

I'm strong, but I'm weak 

The knowledge that people are here for me

Saves me

Loneliness when they are gone

Is inevitable 

The strength of their memory will get me through 

But the loneliness 

The loneliness might just kill me
