"And my words spill like little pictures onto paper and screen and they show you things that you have yet to see but want to, and the pictures cloud your mind and all you see and all you know is what I write and it's beautiful."


Loneliness beside
your self
following you
watching you
and he's breathing down
your neck
wanting you
taking you
and he's speaking in
your ear
scaring you
deceiving you

Like a little mosquito
whispering in
your ear
lying to you
trying to
and the warm
breath of the decay
from so many lives
tortured
raises hairs
on your neck
and your shivering
trembling
and he's holding you

Stay with me
just me
Misery loves company
and so does loneliness
so stay
and he's
whispering in
your ear
breathing down
your neck
and you
stay because
loneliness
needs company too

I had a discussion with a guy I really like about being lonely because I wasn't with him. I took our chat logs and created this poem.
