The Loneliness That Burns.

by ambika   Sep 24, 2005


The loneliness that burns.
It rapes my mind and soul.
Leaving me to scream in all my insanity.
Filling me with hunger for even a small slice of love.

The loneliness that kills.
It blinds and binds me.
Feeding on my need for love.
Ripping me apart inside.

The loneliness that hurts.
Tearing, carelessly, at my soul.
Venturing deeper, right to my core.
Clawing, violently, at my heart.

The loneliness that maims.
Destroying all my compassion.
Leaving only hopelessness.
Turning my love for me into hate.

The loneliness that cuts.
Filling my mind with suicidal thoughts.
Slicing, slowly, deeply at my skin.
So I'm left bleeding dry.

The loneliness that poisons.
Tainting my tongue and my words.
Like a knife, it stabs endlessly into my body.
Then pours acid into my wounds.

The loneliness that burns.
It will never fade away.
A dark shadow cast over me,
Unto my dying day.

    Nice, I liked the way it sounded. And you managed to portray the dark side of loneliness very well.
    I hope you can read mine, A House By the Sea, for what I hoped to describe as the nicer, more becoming side of loneliness, and if you like dark, a little bit twisted poetry you could take a look at Nighttime Seagull.
    Just an idea.
    lots of luck, elizabeth.
