Loneliness

A cycle of poems «Status praesens communis»

In the depths of night, when shadows loom,
Loneliness engulfs me, sealing my doom.
A void within, an aching abyss,
A prison of solitude, where sadness persists.

I wander alone, lost in my despair,
Haunted by thoughts that no one cares.
Loneliness consumes, a cruel and cold embrace,
Leaving me shattered, in an empty space.

I crave connection, a lifeline to hold,
But fear and doubt keep my heart from unfolding.
In the bustling crowd, I feel unseen,
Invisible tears stream down my cheeks, unseen.

Isolation's grip tightens its hold,
Weaving a web of despair in my soul.
Memories of past bonds, now just fragments,
Echoing through the emptiness that haunts me.

Loneliness whispers, its poison sweet,
Tearing down my walls, making me incomplete.
It saps my strength, erodes my will,
Leaving me a hollow shell, empty and still.

I wander alone, lost in my despair,
Haunted by thoughts that no one cares.
Loneliness consumes, a cruel and cold embrace,
Leaving me shattered, in an empty space.

But hope flickers, a tiny ember's glow,
A glimmer in the darkness, where loneliness might go.
For even in the depths of solitude's hold,
Love's gentle touch can make hearts unfold.
