Dwelling in Darkness

Loneliness had become a part of me;

I’d lost all my will to hope

and let despair consume me.



Dark thoughts infected my mind,

but even more critically, my heart,

telling it isolation was its diagnosis.



Light could not filter too long here

before it was gobbled up and

swallowed deep into this gloomy pit.  



I needed someone to rescue me from

this place but all were preoccupied

with their own flickering light.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: "I got used to living with loneliness a long time ago. And it takes time to unlearn the habits of loneliness, you know; to remember to bring to light the pieces of the past you've buried. To learn to trust."
