Oh Loneliness
When I look in the mirror,
You are there.
When I sleep,
You are there.
I try to take off my skin
But you will not disappear.
I do not invite you,
But always come.
I ask you to leave,
But you stay.
I have tried to be forceful,
I have tried to be kind.
In the end I have realized,
I will not win.
I sat down today and wrote you a letter:
Oh loneliness,
Thou art a true friend,
Ever there when I am down…
Never to leave my side,
No matter how hard I try to push you away….
