Poetry: Loneliness

Alone...
Dig a hole and bury me inside. Make it dark so I can hide. Drench the dirt with my tears. Lock me away for years. So I don't have to face the unknown. Reality has hit and I'm alone. Again.
There was a time when he made me smile. He held me tight, he stayed for a while. But like the rest, he disappointed me. And with him, it got so lonely. I cried in my pillow. Til I finally let him go. But now I'm alone. To face this unknown.
There was time when money wasn't an issue. But these days, it's all I run into. Not enough, just to get by. It breaks me, when I try. I just want to live the fullest life. But it's so hard to even get it right. Mostly I get upset. Then I'm depressed.
There was a time when there was always someone to cling to. But now I'm free to just fail into doom. I've wanted to succeed. But I guess it's not in me. I'm just a fool. So...Will you please?
Dig a hole and bury me inside. Make it dark so I can hide. Drench the dirt with my tears. Lock me away for years. So I don't have to face the unknown. Reality has hit and I'm alone. Again.
Tomorrow I'll feel differently. But for now, just let me be.

    Yet Here You Stand Before Me



    You said I was your child,

    You'll love me no matter what.

    The curse of the lonely man is time,
    Time to think, time to reflect and time to feel.

    Thinking about the people that walk to

    If feelings weren't just people, but supposed to be my friends
    I'd buy happiness a drink and ask "where the hell have you

    "Emptiness"

    Lying here waiting
    Thoughts churning in my head
    Painstakingly turning
    While I am tangled in my bed
    Defeat pours over
