Loneliness
Loneliness engulfs him.
Like an arsons match he ignited their relationship ablaze
Once a very unbreakable bond
now, simply reduced
to a pile of ash, in temptations distant haze.
Loneliness entangles him
weaves thru him, like diseased roots of an aging tree
they wrap around his feelings, squeeze out emotion
and eventually choke the life out of his reality.
Loneliness is his soulmate
now...
and for the rest of his years
joined together by selfishness and fate
at the expense of someone else's tears.
Now, as the years drip away, and quietly disappear
they leave no trace
but landing ever so gently
upon his lonely artificial face
though it's not by choice
that this partnership remains
but as a cruel reminder
of a love lost
and a heart tragically stained..
