Acceptance

Its safe here He's pushed everyone as far away as he can. Now a solitary man with a stagnant plan He forces himself to give a smile away Though his thoughts are miles away He gives a courteous nod And acknowledges the rest of life in the universe. But he would rather disperse of the nicities. Live alone in simplicity He wonders to himself Where am I? Where am I going? Is my lunacy showing? And in the midst of the glowing harvest moon He begs the hollow sky above To come and rescue him soon. He lays back on the pillow that has conformed to his lonely image. He dreams again of an icy tomb Locked away like in the hush of a mothers womb He finds comfort in the lonliness And has warmed up to its shallow caress Yes acceptance of his empty life no less And another tick on the clock is put to rest.
