One
Loneliness is weird
No one to tell
No release or someone to catch
tears strain at your eyelids never coming to fruition
Your only companion as lost as yourself
Pain that has no source
but ebbs and flows inside
A faked smile on on an empty mannequin
Loneliness hides it razor sharp claws
as it rips outwards
It must be free it has to be seen
The sentry at the gate never letting it escape
The battle ongoing
Halted by the raise of a lying lip.
