Lonely Thing

lonely thing
like a wilted, faded rose
like an abandoned child
like a witch in the woods
like a venomous spider or snake
like a soldier in a war in foreign lands
like a sunken ship in the bottom of the sea
like a smoked cigarette on the side of the road
like a peak of the tallest mountain
like a moldy strawberry
like an unnamed grave
like a dying butterfly
like a single teardrop
like a dust filled attic
like a star in the sky
like the color gray
like a fallen angel
like a broken toy
like an ugly girl
like a widow
like a ghost
like suicide
like god
lonely thing
like me
