Loneliness eats me up
like a hungry vampire
on a hunting spree.
Defenseless, I sit
on my pinnacle
buried in my ego
staring at the slide show
of when I still had you
and we were one.
Memories of us
leaves me sad
over and over again
germinating loneliness
in my heart’s center
and though
I walk around
like all is fine
I can feel loneliness
ripping my heart apart
and enjoying its savor.

Great idea for a piece Emmanuel! I have felt this way before…There was about 3 years where I could not sleep I ran the nights and worked all day and about once every 2 weeks I would crash for a 16 hour period and start all over again…I hated living that way but night time always made me think in the darkness and then sleep would not come so then I went to see the rest of the creatures of the night!Loneliness is a vampire…Definitely!
I do know that feeling..touching read!
