Apprehension has been consuming me.
a longing for the future
or what it may hold.
My heart clenched while my mind
counts down the hours of each day.

This void has steered my perception into space,
leaving me expecting what i should know to be nothing.

There is nothing to hope for.
No one there to listen to my senseless babbling,
inappropriate laughter,
and to simply keep my heart warm.

Loneliness is here to stay,
till I am desperate enough to call it a friend.
