Loneliness
July 30, 2018
Oceans of grey sheets and cold pillows collide.
Sands of time trickle to nothing,
as night breaks into thousands of stars.
The blues of an empty body bleeds.
Trapped in the fatal light of that bedroom,
Hopelessness is manifested.
Drifting in a symbolic sense,
The boat rocks.
Swallowed whole among the alluring soft waves,
The lost is now found.
Left naked within the silk's of I'm sorry's.
Shaken to the core as we climb over the tarren of misshapen pillowcases,
Salt of the seven seas drip from behind closed eyelids.
A miserable paradise.

I know how you are feeling. I've been in that lonely place before, and it definitely hurts. I just wanted to tell you that you are beautiful, worthy, and loved. This season is not the rest of your life. You have a purpose and a future.
Ever since I was a child, I have felt loneliness. I am terrified of being left alone- yet I find myself time and time again back in my bed. Facing my bedroom walls each night constantly awaiting the night I will be able to fall asleep seemlessly. I would always stay out as late as I could so I would not have to face the feeling, to face my fear. This is a piece about a part of that feeling.
