There are nights,
Where I can feel the loneliness and darkness burn my body as if they were the Sun.
I feel the pain.
What can I do?
Is there a lotion to protect against the scalding of the darkness?
Is there a lotion to protect against the burning lonliness of an empty heart?
As I drift off to sleep, I wonder if I will awaken with skin peeling or be a mere stain of warm ash on cool sheets.
