Loneliness

A sudden wave of loneliness overtakes me;

I feel downhearted, my breath letting out an empty sigh;

My will is strong, my vision spreading out as far as the eye can see ;

But Despair still creeps upon me, never has the time been so nigh;

 

To overcome or be overwhelmed;

To succumb to the darkness within or to rekindle the fire;

Never once have I sought to aspire;

For my life, I was never at the helm; 

 

How can beauty be so fair but yet so cruel? 

At once I thought of renewal; 

Yet my heart still lingers back, the disdain being the fuel; 

As time will tell when the leaves on the prunus trees start to blossom; 

There I may find my true rose, my true passion; 

 

Or let the seasons wither me away; 

Becoming the victim of cold and bitter decay; 

How once was so pure and full of spirit; 

I hope may never turn to loneliness, so woeful yet so wicked;
