“Loneliness”
A sharpened blade, a new dulled knife.
I cling, grasping, onto my life.
I fall, I cry,
I shed no tears.
The ground swallows
All of my fears.
Red water seeps, but never flows.
The river rages, and it glows.
I cry, I try,
I fail again.
Water swallows;
All is barren.
Wandering, lost, throughout this world;
The pain of loneliness unfurled.
I try, I run,
I fall once more.
The pain, it seeps
Into my core.
The blade falls, useless, from my hand.
To life I’m held by just a strand.
I run, I’m done;
I have fallen.
Darkness consumes
My heart again.
