Loneliness My Old Friend Poem by Matthew Holloway

Loneliness My Old Friend

Rating: 5.0


Loneliness is like an old friend
always there in the sleepless night
the distraction throughout the day
the over familiar and unwanted guest
who seems to out last their welcome
loneliness lingers in my shadow
stalking my every move and thought
how well we have come to know each other
as though we would be lost if separated
a life long connection perhaps
a friendship for life well founded
loneliness my forever friend
I'd say go to hell
only we are already there
through day and night
you are at my side
we share so much in common
that others outside of this click
would never, could never, understand
so tell me old friend
what will tomorrow bring
