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?
