Loneliness.

Listen,

I can hear it again.

The silence...

It stings.

The emptiness...

It bites.

And with my broken wings I try to fight.

But, it always ends with no avail.

I'm alone again,

Left contemplating against myself.

My thoughts come to attack me,

Like hounds of hell.

I always believe if I close my eyes it'll help,

But instead it shows me more darkness.

Where'd that dazzling light go?

I swear I saw it before.

It seems I don't remember,

I was smiling not long ago.

As the loneliness impales me

My fond remembrance of joy dissolves.

I want to hide,

But it's all around.

Even if I try,

I'll still be found.

I can't fool myself into thinking I feel fine,...

Even though I wish to,

I can't, not this time.

What if I welcome the sorrow in?

Will it show me a brightening grin?

Nay,

That would be in folly.

So, I'll stay this way,

In this trap.

Until my resurrecting light comes,

And shows me the way back.
