Loneliness

January 26, 2023

Sometimes loneliness gnaws at me

Flashing it’s big teeth and then ripping me to shreds

Devouring my mind & emptying my soul

As if I was just bone it tosses me to the side when it’s done

With the satisfaction of its meal it rests with smile on its face

Ready for round 2, a day I might not see
