Claws
of loneliness
A blanket of darkness engulfs
the sky.
The cage of night has
silenced the day.
I feel the strangling fingers
of loneliness
Come to wrap themselves
around my being,
In a deadly unforgiving
embrace
Once again.
The blackness descends upon
my tortured soul.
I wonder how long I must
remain prisoner,
To the aching realization.
I am alone.
Deep inside a pit of despair.
My desperate pleas to God the
only company,
Within my raped, broken
existence.
The empty rhythm of my hollow
heart
Echoes unfulfilled throughout
my shattered mind.
Suddenly I am battling with
the pain.
Lost and drowning within a
sea of poisonous tears,
As the claws of hatred attack
my body
Ripping me apart
Stealing all that I am.
Until all I have left to
offer,
Is love.
Pure, passionate love, my
only key to freedom,
To life.
Sadly, the one truth of my
future that shines,
Is death.
For my love which is begging
to be consumed,
Remains defenceless,
incomplete,
Unreturned.
