Love Poem: The Loneliness

The Loneliness

Being without you 
is 
the equivalent of being diagnosed with a fatal condition 
which 
makes each day drag out long and painful as i await my fate 


There is no one to nurse my wounds, no one to comfort me 
nor 
is there anyone to hold or console me, i'm just all alone
 

The loneliness eats away at me like a disease 
and 
the only remedy I know is you 


but 
you are not within my reach 
so 
there will be no cure 

and 
it seems that I shall truly die
