Lonely Tired Creature


Lonely tired creature

Circling your overgrown garden

Pray you don't misstep and fall

Down to the dark comfort you long for

Unconsolable you cry

But silent to the ears of this so close

Invisible to a crowd unaware of your masquerade

Lonely tired screature

Your final lap will be your hardest yet

You will not say goodbye

For fear of what the answer would be

Glance down at the escape you have so long awaited

Take your leap

Filled with fear of the unknown

Warmth will embrace you

Lonely tired creature

Sleep soundly
