Loneliness
the prison for which I've encased myself
to safe keep my heart from break
loneliness
the distance between
making a move and staying put
the difference between
taking a chance and letting it ride
the opposite of
joy and happiness
the synonym of death.
Loneliness
the hell we ourselves create
to safe guard against shit we don't even know about.
fearing the darkness
when sometimes it's the light that's the evil
fearing the closeness
when our hearts and core of our beings long to be close
and that longing so strong that it suffocates
strangling all that was meant to be shared
making it become stale
and stiff with anticipation
because there's hope the cycle will end.
