Silence and solitude.

Darkness and the empty light of the moon.

The clouds illuminated

As they make their lonesome trek

Across the sky.

A stray car on the road

And gone.

What a lonely landscape.

As I looked out

Upon the trees

And the sky

And the clouds,

I thought it was beautiful

Then, the tears started to fall.

I know why.

Loneliness broke into my heart

Because the security systems were disarmed.

I don't know why, but

I let it happen again.

I let my heart roam free

And it came back in full.

I guess, now I pay the price.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I don't know why I feel so lonely.

The limitations and restrictions

Imposed by distance are really eating my heart.

They think it's delicious.

These lonely nights really drain me of emotional energy.

Confound it!

I did it again!

I am so attached to you, but

You are so far away.

Why?!

Why did I let this happen again?!

Uncertainty and stress

Overwhelm me.

As I am pinned to the ground,

Loneliness rushes forward to

Suffocate me.

So, I stop struggling and give in.

All I can do is cry as I listen to

The shuffle of the morning

As it lurks around the corner.

Help me.

I am scared, lonely, and stressed.

The warmth of the blankets

Contains me

As my pain rolls down my face.

Tomorrow will be better.

I just have to keep moving forward.

Right?
