What is loneliness?
If not a monster that gnaws
at your feelings towards others:
'Go and shut the door!'

What is loneliness?
If not a monster that haunts
and make you doubt your judgements:
'I hate myself, more and more!'

What is loneliness?
If not a monster that preys
on everyone and leaves no-one:
'Oh, never thought I would see this day!'

What is loneliness?
If not a monster that shows
that good moments are to be cherished:
'Please, don't ever go away!'

Coffee in the morning
Songs or simply talking
Laughter with occasional spatting
Writing, singing and lazing
Such is the bubble I’m living
Day in, day out
One I’m scared of losing
as the clock is ticking, loud
and demanding, the waves
keep crashing, while I
will carry on dreaming
'til the cuckoo sounds...
