Lonliness
a silent killer
like a cancer one can't see
devouring the spirit
bringing the strongest to their knees
so subtle does it spread
until the night consumes the day
alone inside the darkness
you've become it's prey
sitting in despair
wondering how this came to be
another victim
for the graveyard of the lonely
