Disease

Being alone is like a Disease,
The more you are the more it seeds.

Your heart aches and you find it hard to breathe.
Silence and solitude use your soul as feed.

Razors on your wrists soothe a dark and evil need,
As the cuts and wounds of love continue to bleed.

Society corrupts and tempts while you plead,
As so called friends stab your back each time you leave.

Every attempt at love is choked off by past weeds,
Causing uncontrollable feelings of insecurity.

Sleepless nights tear apart the days routine,
Splitting open confidence and compassion at the seams.

Feelings of passion are still worn on the sleeve,
But loneliness, like a cancer, has overtaken the inner me.

Dear David,

How easy it is to fall into a trap of
loneliness, and how difficult to find
your way out. But trust me there is
light and beauty at the end of the
tunnel, just don't block it out.

Gripping write David.
Warm hugs
Elga

A very sad write.
Though well expressed. I know these feelings all too well.

I know this feeling, this happens for so many reasons, mine right now is the loss of my mother. The pain of loniless is deep and very hard to take. Very well expressed.
