Loneliness bleeds through
staining the Facade
an audible Ache
palatable Pain
deep, rending
Empty
arms go limp
fall off
Useless
feet are rooted
to the floor
Immobile
lips curl tightly
baring teeth
flashing white
a hollow Shell
a lonely Soul
like a stream
whose waters
have trickled away
what can assuage the Guilt?
what can ease the Loneliness?
Pervasive
Persistent
the slow eroding of Soul
no feeling
no reaction
Numb
