Loneliness crept in my door tonight

I didn't close it fast enough

I threw back the locks

we are locked in, Loneliness and I.

 

It doesn't want to talk

and frankly neither do I.

Instead I think of others

those who have people to hold them.

 

Loneliness seems to know its effect

gives me a sad smile

hands me this piece of paper and pen

watches me write my regrets.

 

Loneliness isn't bad company tonight.
