death by loneliness

And it creeps upon me so quietly, swiftly. It pierces my lungs and for a moment I am dead. but we all know it is forever. So dead that the feathers and fur decompose, and I don't mind. It's the swiftness and unsureness that carries me to a place. A place where my silent cries are never heard nor never mind, thus never noticed. In a land not ridden with my kind. I feel the world is not mine anymore. Now, I am a graphite dot that seems to be lightened. And slowly I fade, as each day swipes at me like the eraser in God's hands. I have been patient. However, it seems that these hazel eyes are unable to be much more patient. I fear death by loneliness. I am too young to pass And too young to not love all this life.
