loneliness

  
 loneliness is not when everyone forgets or rejects you
 it's when you walk away from every word
 and all you have left is the poor self
 colder and farther away than any geographic pole
  
 but mom night takes care of everything
 with its darkness it covers us and reveals us
 it hides our vulnerabilities
 and discovers the vulgarity and wickedness of others
  
 single. in the dark. far from the future
 beyond the present
 in an uncontrolled storm
 of gray past
