loneliness is my illness

loneliness is a funny thing you can be near people you know and who love you, and still feel alone.
loneliness is something that everyone feels at some point in our lives.
loneliness is something we all want until we have it.
loneliness is something that haunts us all.
it comes when we least expect it.
loneliness is a feeling of isolation.
isolation happens when you want to be alone but at the same time you want someone to hold you and tell you you'll be okay.
when we need someone to hold onto but there is no one ready to hold you they will tell you sorry for your pain.
they don't know how to comfort you or be there for you and your problems.
you still feel lonely just even more then before.
you'll always feel more alone then you were originally..
loneliness always creeps into our lives when we are most alone.
when we let our guard down loneliness strikes.
loneliness is a illness.
its my sickness that wont leave me alone.
isolation is my weakness.
