Loneliness
by
It
envelopes me like a shroud, then merges throughout my whole being
Unrecognizable
as if it’s someone else inside that I am seeing
Deep
beneath it wrenches my heart causing such torturous sorrow
Now
not knowing how I will ever endure past tomorrow
One’s
transparent image seen far in the distance of my mystical dreams
Calling
out to save myself…its vision quickly swept off on moonbeams
Awakening
to the reoccurring sadness from my haunting nights
Gasping
sighs tremble through me from my dreaming plights
Feeling
remnants of wet tears as they link reality to dreamscapes of my mind
Reaching
out to grasp, yet unable to touch…is there no one that I will find
At
times being so close yet never within reach of what I want the most
Always
seeking but only briefly seeing apparitions of a disappearing ghost
Where is the phantom image that I need to hold…so desperately to find
Never
lingering…always quickly disappearing forever leaving me behind
Walking
in emptiness…feeling drowned…incredibly lost and alone
Will
I ever find the soul I have been seeking or myself turn cold as stone
Hiding
deeper inside myself…crying out…not wanting this for me
No
one here to help me rid these feelings and set me free
With
longing eyes I follow others as they walk contented hand in hand
What I would give to have someone at my side along the rivers sand
I
look through a window of borrowed time…seeing other’s happiness
attained
My
darkened hollow shell is now the only thing remained
My…unfathomable
Loneliness…
