loneliness hits
like a slap
in the face
relentless
unforgiving

loneliness
a sense
of utter
desolation
and misery

loneliness
unhappiness
in its wake
a knot in
the stomach

loneliness
never relaxed
constant
restlessness
not at peace

loneliness
laced with
shame and
pretence
unmerciful

when
you
have
met
kindness
and
felt a
warm
embrace
the
loneliness
hits
you
like
a slap
in the
face
and
your
eyes
well up
with
tears
that
slowly
runs
down
your
chin
the
emptiness
so
powerful
like a
knot
twisting
you
inside

blue sky
filled with
fluffy white clouds
like a bag
of marshmallow
bursting in its seam
the sun’s rays
hitting the ground
warming my face
and melting away
the sadness
of winter
filling my heart
with hope that
love will find me
and I will start
living again

I am
lost
at sea
tempted
by the
call of
the Sirens
their
song
alluring
like
gold
the waves
come
crushing
down
dragging
me
further
out
I feel
no fear
I am
at peace
listening
to their
voices

together
but
apart
divided
by
modern
technology
engrossed
in
separate
digital
worlds
iPhone
and
iPad
together
but
apart
empty
blank
looks
twosome
but
alone
