Ode To Loneliness

As night dwindles down to day, Life seems to be swept farther away Darkness breathes into my soul To a depth I cannot control Patience is not an asset I possess Love is not an asset I possess But loneliness, pure and black and wretched Leaves me nothing but bitterness etched Down deep in my hollowed soul That mourns the losses of my love Everything I do comes back to darkness, Nothing I do leads to happiness Fear is nothing to shame, this is a Fearless and useless game That my heart is playing on me Time passes on to another age, My life's book is on its final page Streaks of gray run through my hair As if any of you even care My life was empty and lonely But I never needed therapy So now do not pity me For I do not need or want any Loneliness speckles down deep into My empty soul.
