loneliness.

a disease that plagues the mind, body and soul.

a disease whose silence is deafening.

it brings a sickly feeling
as it reminds you that there isn't anyone else.

it laughs in your face
while also comforting you.

the worse it gets,
the harder it is for me to get out.

it's my fault though.

i isolated myself and loneliness saw it happen
and took advantage.

i'm the one who locked myself in the room
but loneliness is the one who took the key
and never gave it back.
