Loneliness, friend and a foe
A river that sooths you sure
But also keeps you separate
by its unmovable force.
It engulfs you like a lover missed
and sweeps you away in a lonely night.
Somedays it provides you comfort of a sweater in cold
and on others it leaves you hanging from thread worn old.
It is solace from pain and pain itself
Comfort and Hurt
Emptiness and Peace.
It is the embrace of a lover
who leaves you breathless with a kiss.
And try you might, you can't let go
Maybe from comfort or fear
Who knows?
In the end it is a companion
that stays with you till you go.
