Loneliness

Loneliness is like a giant’s crushing strength.

The jagged rocks in the sombre shore length,

Where the tumultuous waves crash with madness.

 

Loneliness is like the London still fog,

Loneliness is like stagnant putrid water.  

A bitter bottle of wine in the gutter,

Drunkenness of spirit because the grog.

 

Loneliness is like a weight dragging down,

Loneliness is like starvation in a drought.

Aimlessly looking beyond the doubt,

Always wondering when would the end be found.

 

Loneliness you had snared me, but I’m free

From the sorrowful weeping in the long nights,

the racing of thoughts filled with hopeless sighs;

Loneliness you are a beaten enemy in defeat.
