A vision of Loneliness

There are days
When this loneliness
Overwhelms me
Like a silken sheet
Flowing over me
With no end
And no beginning

It grips me tight
And holds me close
Making me realize
The potential
For both
My darkest fear
And
My deepest comfort

And in that comfort
I find despair

And in that fear
I seek refuge

Dare I hope
To find a way out?

Dare I seek
A companion
A friend
A partner
A light
Within the darkness?

Or should i
Accustom myself
To the silken darkness
That engulfs
The essence
Of my being?

How do I know
Which I deserve?

How do I embrace
The true nature
Of this,
My solitude?

Is it merely
A passerby?

Or is it

A permanent resident?
