Loneliness

Often at times I gasp for air..
Out of breath I am..
Poisoned by loneliness..
Utter despair..
An emptiness of nothing..
Deep down inside..

A black void..
A void into nothing..
An empty shell..
Feeling vulnerable
Desperation takes over completely..
Trapped like an animal I feel
Within and without..

Once had so much love to give..
So much love to share..
Life was full
Accompanied with contentment..
fulfillling life it was..
The glass was full..

Full glass is gone..
Empty glass it is..
Small fragments of a once full glass..

I close my eyes..
I have a vision of Happiness..
Joy shines inward..
Joy shines outward..
Contentment shines upon me
Brilliant sun rays it is..
Glowing..
Beautifully..
Specks of stardust everywhere..

My vision so intense..
I can feel it..
Taste it
Smell it..
All my senses awakened..

I open my eyes..
The glorious vision still remains..
