Loneliness- a strange and deafening thing.

Sleeps beside me in the darkness, silent. Listens-

for the pause of my pulse while I’m breathing.

Utters lies and leaves them etched on my skin.


Loneliness- forces my tears down my throat

and trades me its shadows for my light.

I’ve nothing and no one but Lonely’s oath.

I’m praying you don’t - leave me lonely tonight.


You- with your blue eyes and soft smile, you’re kind

You- see me, say my name, like you know me

And I know you, you come from old hands, mine.

As long as I have you- lonely? I’ll never be.


Never tremble in my own flesh, in fear.

With pen -life- I’ll give, you won’t disappear.
