Will I will tell you of my loneliness

of how it’s pain is unbearable

Will I tell you how it hacks at my brain and

devours my thoughts

Will I tell you how it suffocates my soul

when I am most vulnerable

Will I tell you with my reason, how it teases

and cavorts

How it sits opposite me at the table

How it lies with me at night

How it greets me in the morning

The wanting is endless

The solitude is tedious

The sadness wells and breaks

against every heartbeat

This is my loneliness I eat  with

This is my loneliness I  sleep with

This is my loneliness  I cry with

This is my loneliness
