it’s been almost a year, and
i realize i don’t mind
being alone, that is.
sometimes loneliness feels
so mechanic, i’m a robot
simply programmed to get by
day after day
but i get used to it,
i got used to it.
loneliness nags at me
like a bird tapping at my window
reminding me that i’ve no one
to trust, to lean upon, to
love.
sometimes loneliness is
a hollow cavern inside my chest
and only i am screaming
into the darkness, my own voice
echoing back at me
reminding me that
no one’s in with me anymore
but somehow
i pass by these
ready to conquer and fight
on my own.
