Ones company

by Michael   Nov 6, 2017



Once again-

I break the
ice with loneliness.

The guest, echoes;
sounds of whining.

Dining-
on my emptiness.

A rhetorical diet!
with an appetite
that feeds on silence!
outstaying its
welcome.

..again..

..filling,
the atmosphere;
with stale
conversation.

Rotting the air.

It.

Drags me through
endless days,
painting the
walls; with
perpetual-
purple prose.
while, I
watch it-
dry.

Drowning-

out my
sorrows.

    The flow here is incredible, I couldn't believe I'd already reached the end so I reread the piece about a dozen times. Each time my heart broke a little more. But I feel like the techniques here and the style were all very well used. You had a fantastic rhythm and the way you broke up your stanzas felt perfect. Now on for the loneliness theme, you captured it immaculately. Excellently sorrowfully penned piece.

    Ah Michael!
    Loneliness is such an awful emotion and you've given the feel of that just perfectly here. Too many good bits to even pick out a fave line! Brilliant! :-) x
