On Loneliness
As the nite grows upon me,
engulfing my very soul,
no path can i see,
i have nowhere to go,

my eyes ache,
but no light do i see
my ears strain,
but no sound do i hear,

the clattering of my footsteps
do startle me sometimes,
as it's echo tears thru the silence

with no one for company,
looks like even my shadow has deserted me,

loneliness my only companion,
friend or foe, i cannot tell,
so empty i feel
but my heart is heavy

my companion plots against me
robs me of my only hope,
life has lost its meaning
a lonely end awaits me ......
