Loneliness

Loneliness is the sinking feeling that there is no human breath around

It is a terribly cold feeling; one could freeze to death

due to loneliness.

The mind talks to itself, but tires of it after a while,

Then stops talking, and there is deafening silence.

Loneliness is this deafening silence inside and around you.

sleep is a respite from loneliness

at least your dreams keep you company

and there are people in your dreams.

Someone to hug, and someone to talk to

someone to understand, and someone to hold my hand

that is what I long for, please.
