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.
