The litmus test for loneliness, is the approaching dark and the clawing hand that pulls you closer to your resignation to become engulfed in it. An empty café bustling only with, The screaming thoughts that stack up in your mind like poker chips. The same expression frozen stiff makes you fake a smile when least appropriate. A jester at the funeral, Human touch just strikes you as unusual because an open hand is like subtle subterfuge, syphoning your soul for personal use. Emotional exposure erodes a stone demeanor. Loneliness is like an open road with no street signs pointing home.
