Loneliness is a starved insect with an insatiable hunger. It clings to anything and everything that is willing to feed it. Slowly, loneliness starts to overwhelm you, though it's hunger is very much present. Loneliness eats at your heart; eats at your soul; while ravenously ingesting your flickering lights of hope. By nature, you succomb to it's selfish needs. Too weak, you're not able to stop feeding it. Too late, you realize that you were the host to this parasite. If loneliness consumes you completely, like it has done with many people before, It will just desert you and leave your empty shell of a body and begin to feast on the inside of another poor victim.
