LONELINESS

being with you is taxing

you suck the energy from my veins

you cannot make me happy

but it's better than being alone

it's pitiful isn't it?

to be so lonely

I'd rather be with you

who makes me so miserable

but that's what loneliness does:

corrupts a previously whole person

decaying one's mind and physicality

until they do not recognize themselves

I was so lonely

I took the first chance of company

it came in the form of sin

as the Devil's cruel laugh rings in my ears

Laughing Devil. Good sign for a escape plan. Nice flow of thoughts my friend. Sometime we accept less till we are brave again. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Impressive how you turned the abstract concept of loneliness into words that made one feel the same way loneliness does...

keep it up!

Sorry about all the last minute posts, I won't be able to publish anything next week, so I decided to give y'all a few new poems to read while I'm gone.
Hope y'all enjoy 'em!
