The Monotonic Tone of Loneliness

The Monotonic Tone of Loneliness

A Poem by felioness

There is a tone when completely and utterly alone.
A stark quiet-like gloom reverberating deep within the head.
A minuscule rattle disturbing the tympanum of one’s inner ear.
A humming thrumming emptiness hinting of fear brushing against
a symphony of nothingness echoing loudly in an empty room.

There is a buzz in emptiness
The blue bottle fly of loneliness head deep in decay 
mindlessly marking the end of days, 
yet, simultaneously, a profound sense of
 pervading stillness that will not go away.

There is a sense of compression 
in an empty room;
an ambient pressure, 
pushing against 
both body and brain. 
Invisible yet visceral - a sick psychic pain.

There is a rhythm to aloneness. 
Monotonic percussions beating heavily
within the unsought core. 
The droning music of minimalism 
tearing internal structures apart.

The inaudible death throes of the unwanted heart.

I'm glad I found this one. You've got a lot of talent in that pen that allows one to not only understand but sympathize with. Kind of like, yeah, that's what I would say that would cover it all. Thanks for sharing.

So true dear writer... so very true.
I love your vocabulary.

And I identify with your interpretation of loneliness.

Well done.
