Loneliness And I

Reticent cries clog my throat
silent screams escape my body
remnants of sodium stain my swollen cheeks
the sensation burning
as water droplets flow
down my caked face like a stream

My soul yearns for physical companionship
this hunger for affection
that which I am lacking
devours my spiritual being
I long for a voice that does not utter
the torturous thoughts imprisoned within me

Anguish stabs my throbbing heart
desolation engulfs my stark existence
the embodiment of loneliness consumes me
solitude's firm grasp strangles my throat
with its arms
invisible, yet so very familiar

I'm gasping for air;
but
I feel so empty

ICan'tBreathe

My ears unceasingly ring
of silent screams
Echo,
echoing thunderously
screeching louder within me

NO
Alone, I am not;
for one refuses to not accompany me

Loneliness and I
We will always be
Loneliness and I
For eternity
