Sentimentality

Loneliness slowly creeps up on you Like a faint mist that spreads Which thickens ahead And turns into a dense fog That chokes you until you can’t breathe It’s a killer disease The only sounds you hear Are the house creaks That become deafening squeaks And the tick tock of the clock As life passes you by The days are so long A pitiful heart with no song The company you yearn A sickening feeling you churn There’s no-one to care No love to share All your hope is gone Where once you shone With an emptiness so hollow Scared of your own shadow The silence will kill Shall I take a pill… Tomorrow is laced with the same fear and dread I wish I was dead.
