Aloneliness

Aloneliness

thickening fog

haze to look out of

safe in your bog

 

Aloneliness,

creating the space

for Laura to fill

her words to efface

 

Aloneliness,

time and again

taking me places

love’s never been

 

Aloneliness,

message so clear

thundering wasteland

silence in tears

 

Aloneliness,

faithful in pain

ever so near

my eyes close again

 

Aloneliness,

most trusted friend

you that I count on

there till the end
