root of all evil

lonliness

root of all evil

it seems

to follow me

it figures

haunting me

becoming my shadow

my second skin

never leaving my side

even when

I yell at it

even when

I cry

lonliness

keeping me from moving

on

to anything

but sadness

thinking that the sun beneath

the clouds

of pain

will keep me from

dying

yet it shields

me

from anything else

getting too close

to me

it

never lets me down

lonliness

always there for me

always pulling me

into

a web of darkness

for all

eternity ...

I feel your pain
though, I've learned to embrace loneliness
and now it no-longer haunts
you are never alone
even with your self - know
that I am forever with you
my friend, for you are fond
in my thoughts - also in the
thoughts of others
as quiet as it is kept
so do not mistake silence
for haunting despair
it is only the still of the night
reflecting on the beloved praises
of the day - in which you are
well a part of
yes, you too - are part
of this momentous joy

Much Respect, One Love
One
