Lonely
Loneliness
No words can describe it.
It's gnawing and empty,
Palpable.
It hangs in the air like smoke.
I stand in the dark of my room
Not because I have conquered my fear,
But because anything is better than that longing.
All night,
I yearn for physical contact.
An embrace from one that loves me
My head on someones shoulder.
With the rising sun,
I forget all about it.
But as soon as my door closes,
I feel it.
It creeps through my body
Leaving me unable to sleep.
And when I do,
My dreams are haunted
By the people I love.
So close,
Yet so far away.

This poem was written at 1:30 in the morning and I was quietly crying as I went. I want to help others have felt this way because I know how truly terrible it can feel.
