Returning to loneliness


You’re back

Away from those who

Mocked you

Spat on your opinions

And treated you with such malice

when all you wanted to do was

help

But now ever since the silence has been instilled

You

feel like everything’s out of place

“No one cares about you”

Creeps into your mind

You know it can’t be true

But with that one thought

Depression slowly germinates

Within you

Such a bitter taste I have given you

People fear me and run

But you accept me with open arms

Only makes me wonder

Why are you here?

I know this isn’t what you really want

But no matter

I will comfort you.

I may be cold

But I will do my best

To make you warm
