The Pain of Loneliness
Loneliness has found me, though I have tried to hide.
It has spun it's gossamer spider-like web deep inside.
I have tried to protect myself, not intending to be,
A pathetic victim of its devastation, that's not going to be me.
But sadly, it seems that I somehow, not knowing let it in,
and before I realized it, I felt the pain begin.
It is not the loneliness of an " I 've got the blues" kind of day.
It is the heart wrenching kind, that doesn't go away.
It surrounds me like fog that is so dense
that I can see nothing, aware of nothing, there is no sense.
It seeps into my heart, leaving it empty and cold.
So that if there ever was a chance, alas, no heart to hold.
I feel the restlessness growing more and more intense.
I don't know how to relieve it, so I become incensed.
Frustration building, how do I fight this unseen foe?
Where do I turn, what direction do I go?
I want to run out into the night, screaming, silently.
Wanting to get attention, but not so violently.
But in reality, I do nothing, but pace around the room.
And look out of the window, only seeing the night's gloom.
I will try to sleep, but I doubt sleep will come.
Will morning find me as I was, or will I have come undone?
