Loneliness

This is my first ever submission, and it pertains to something i have been battling since i got divorced shortly after my first deployment. I am very amateur, and looking for a outlet for expression.

Loneliness is a disease, that can lead to death.

Or even worse, a purgatory situated between life and death

Loneliness creeps its way in, undeniably, through pores and veins 

It sits in your stomach, a black pit

 A nebulous void without edges, with an ability to tear into you with jagged harshness

Loneliness takes root in the mind, it festers like a infection and spreads

Doubts, questions, concerns, they take form all the same

A thousand different things scream through your brain 

Every one, drowned out by deafening silence and a constant ringing in your ears
