Loneliness perches himself in my body Wrapping his hands tightly around my arteries and veins Hanging there Kicking at the my ventricles Laughing with his whiskey breath Even when distractions abound He captivates me with each swing Digging his toes into me Making purple marks The bridegroom tells me He feels the way I do He pours His own blood into me 'This may hurt, but I understand you' 'I don't think there's anyone like You'
