loneliness?

originally wrote this sometime
in september of last year
but only just now deciding to post it:

this came to me while
listening to the song below
for maximum effect
click play if it's not
auto playing and then read


most don't know what loneliness is
they think of it as a memory in passing
being single for a while and sad
loneliness is an isolation of a soul
imprisoned from the rest of the world
an alienated person tossed aside like
old shoes with worn soles
even worse when the person is looked down upon
loneliness is an out cast from birth
second best and second rate
doing the best they can but it's not good enough
loneliness is a failure of a life
giving up and wasting away
a train that crashes into a steel wall at terminal velocity
loneliness is a tear shed from an aching or broken heart
a heart that loved so much,
but got left behind every single time it opened up
loneliness is an empty husk, the shell of a heart
what remains after the world and it's hunters got a hold
nothing but bones, cartilage, sinew, and offal left
after the hunters take their pick of the good meat
loneliness is the reflection of a mirror in an empty room
curtains blowing in the wind a comforting sight
loneliness is a contemplative mind with no one to talk to
like screaming down an empty hall
no one to hear, no one to care
loneliness is writing these pointless words into this blog
a pouring of me into a place where no one cares
loneliness is an over weight, middle aged man
sitting in an empty room
trying to find the strength to find a reason for being
trying his best to stay alive
loneliness is finding a comfort in the thought of no tomorrow
