wearing the feeling of solitude
as a second skin .
lonely nights intertwine
with lonely days .
how much sadness can
my soul endure ?
how much pain ?
how much heartache ?
bended knees ,
head between hands
heart-wrenching sobs
leaving me breathless
gasping for air .
I'm falling apart ,
piece by piece .
weary and tired
defeated and lonesome
reaching for
somebody , anybody .
something to tie me down ,
somebody to hold me together .
