Loneliness

Dropped off and walking on
Stepping into a home where everyone is gone
Say hello to the dogs, then head upstairs
Take a nap or contemplate doing something worthwhile
Lay there in silence waiting for another to come in
Talk to yourself to fill the void of emptiness
Dance and sing a little in order to stay positive
Stop what you’re doing because your embarrassed
Standing alone wondering what’s the next move
Head downstairs to get some food
But not too much since you look like a balloon
Eating less to make yourself look thinner
Sadness and cravings give in and you eat like no other
Feeling ashamed back upstairs you go
It’s getting late so it’s time to clean off
Spend an hour or two trying to wash the negativity away
Nothing changes and you feel the same way
Now you lie there again, longing for the company of another person
Darkness and quiet are the only things by your side
Sadness overcomes and a stream of water comes down
Drifting away things disappear
The feeling of falling down kicks in
Endlessly falling waiting to land
But all that’s waiting is nothing
And all that’s left is the loneliness
Ready to consume you
