Pain
But why?
I don't know
It sits in the back of my mind
Curled around my heart
Claws sunk deep into my mind
Like some cornered animal with a score to settle
It crashes its dark bleak waves against my thoughts
and whispers in my ear the second the world around me quiets
At least I'm never alone?
But even its constant presence
Consistently purring sweet poison at me
Cannot stave away the ache of being lonely
For when you feel you have no one
Not much can change that
