Loneliness
May 10, 2021
It's not a feeling
It's a void
Emotion stealing
Emotions destroyed
A simplistic beauty
Of which none adore
The shipwrecking Siren
Calling all to shore
It's pain even misery
It can be more
It can bliss and serenity
The calm with no storm
The waves overtake me
With their ups and downs
With one eternal promise
I’m hell bound
I’m not hurt I’m broken
Dented and bruised
I’ve got my token
For the ferryman's cruise
Ignorance is bliss
Or so I’ve been told
It's the old me I miss
Lost many years ago
