loneliness is just nostalgia
with a certain melancHoly
singular in form and yet
ubiquitous in mankind's folly
lonelinEss is frank aliveness
knowledge pure and terrifying
often coming, rarely going
self and ego freely dying
Loneliness is distilled dreaming
bottled by the ancient sorrows
sculPted to an angry brew and
full of ifs and lost tomorrows
loneliness is midnight meals
Microwaved on plastic trays
and eaten with a bitter sigh
to pass away the empty days
and loneliness is self-deception
Ev'ry time we draw our breaths
for we forget we call the shots
yet still crash blindly t'ward our deaths
