Faces of Loneliness

Quiet corners of the night hold the secrets of sadness. Lonesome souls without the light cascading the waves of madness. Forgotten by everyone they know with their humanity torn. Days are torture and nights so slow they wish they were never born. Lonely eyes will gaze at you; foreheads lined with worry. We pass them quickly by it's true; pretend we're in a hurry. Lost souls that cannot comprehend what turned their tears to rust. This road has just a dark dead end; But for grace that could be us. written October 15th for contest "Faces Of Loneliness"
