Meet Loneliness Poem by Ghada Shahbender
Meet Loneliness
She is now my best friend.
Always close to me
She's as reliable
as no one else can ever be.
She can outshine any one
and stand out in the largest crowd
Keeping everyone away from me
with an oppressive shroud
She's ever present but known to a very few
Overtaking their lives,
interfering in almost everything they do.
I often despise her
but usually not for long
For her control over my emotions
is much too strong.
Now that I have introduced you,
I hope you two will rarely meet.
For Loneliness is brutal,
she is neither warm nor sweet.
Keep her at a distance.
Don't make her part of your life.
Protect yourself with a loving partner,
a husband or a wife.
A very good bit of advice there Ghada, it's something we all have to fight off! Sincerely Ernestine Northover
