Lonely Nights Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

Lonely Nights

Rating: 5.0


Loneliness, is hard quell.
And you'll do anything to feel something else, anything else.
Meaningless sex.
A temporary bliss at best.
Getting drunk, partying to the crack of dawn.
And still you wake up alone, so alone, so alone.
Putting on some tunes to try and break this horrible mood.
But it just won't do, won't satisfy.
Feeling abandoned by both family and friends.
Hoping this rope has an end.
Even if its around your neck.
Taking some happy pills, and still you want to cut your self with a razor blade.
Anything to feel.
So numb.
The great escape.
Jumping in the forbidden lake.
Please I just want a little more time before I have to go back into my lonely, very lonely mind.
It coils around me.
A blanket that has never kept me warm.
A snake that wants to swallow me whole.
Devoid.
Absent of life.
Silence that is so defeating,
Clawing on the glass pain.
Please know my name.
Pretty please I'm on knees begging for some company.
Even if feels wrong, it feels so right.
And it will be another one of those nights.

What a compelling and sad voice! A sense of lack gnaws at a person from within, leading to acts of self-indulgence. It's as if an eternal child were trapped inside a prison, build from compulsive habit patterns.
