Lonely

Loneliness welling
Inside my heart
Towards my throat
And through my veins

Sluggish and slow
As it eats me whole
Devouring the goodness
In each part of my soul

Latching on
To my lungs
To my brain
Leaving me breathless
With a head filled with pain

It leeches every bit
From my body
And still comes back
To repeat the process

Over and over
The cycle continues
It hardens my defences
And shuts me out

And still I am invisible
Left alone
Dealing with this horror

Not a glance or look
Thrown my way
No one cares
I am driven insane
