Loneliness

by Kavalnain
in New York

Loneliness is a darkness
That sinks into your skin
A terrible feeling
That is felt within

Every morning
A child awakes
To either face this loneliness
Or make it go away

A child myself
I couldn't run
Away from this loneliness
Before it begun

It haunted my mornings
And hung in the shadowy nights
It bodied my windows and closed my curtains
And threatened my life

Quiet as it came
Quiet as it hid
Against the walls
And under my bed

I tried to hide
Within the light
But everywhere I went
It followed right behind

Still I am lost
Still I am afraid
Of this frightening shadow
Of loneliness.
