Loneliness, My Blanket

Loneliness, my blanket
A comfort
Warming my bones
Keeping me secure
Safe from harm
The blessing of being alone

When my tears fall
My blanket's there
Holding me cool and dry
I use it as a sheild
To block out all the others
From seeing me cry

This loneliness
It cradles me
Keeps all the pieces whole
And when it is torn away
I feel the burn
For it alone completes my soul
