Aloneliness,
  thickening fog
  haze to look out of
  safe in your bog

Aloneliness,
  creating the space
  for Laura to fill
  her words to embrace

Aloneliness,
  time and again
  taking me places
  love’s never been

Aloneliness,
  message so clear
  thundering wasteland
  silence in tears

Aloneliness,
  faithful in pain
  ever so near
  my eyes close again

Aloneliness,
  most trusted friend
  you that I count on
  —there till the end
