Loneliness.

Loneliness. It speaks to me,out of the darkest corner of my mind On a stormy summer's night It finds me,in a room full of people,all laughing ,talking,enjoying life. It It creeps up on me,when there's no-one else around It traps me,when I'm laying in my bed. "Go away ",I tell it,"leave me alone" It answers me vehemently,with dark and longing spasms, "I'm here,come with me,I'm here" "Get away",I tell myself,"run and hide", Where to go?,where will it not find me? Over my shoulder,I look,behind the doors,through the windows Is it gone?At last sleep comes,no more loneliness No more fear or torment, Just peace,only peace,thankyou,peace.
