Loneliness
Loneliness, such a killer
You stalk me around corners
Trying to smother me with your dark presence
I hate you for blocking out my light
Loneliness, such a killer
Creeping up on me
Unable to break free from you
You drown me, I can’t breathe no more
Loneliness, such a killer
My chest heaving as I run to avoid you
All my senses battle against you
Struggling to see the light high up above
Loneliness, such a killer
Why can’t you just leave me alone
Don’t seek out my company
My whole being shying away from your name
Loneliness, I beg of you
Please leave me alone
Allow me to be free
I can’t bear to be lonely anymore
