Dear Loneliness...

You have again awaken me from my deep slumber Crawled into the night like a thief who wanders And stole the thought of a harmless traveller Seeking a way out of a life, empty of grandeur You have slain the happiness, the soul has scarred Renewed the passion, the mind has barred And the secrets you whispered Seems to me, absurd How you know all memories I burned! You are mischievous, you are a sly You know all the tricks, yet you know not to lie For the truth that I hid, resists to die And refused to be seen by the naked eye Loneliness, I know you will not leave You are part of my soul, you lie here beneath And you shall not release me, until you are free For the one who holds you, is no other than thee It is my heart, I know from within...
