Loneliness is a powerful thing

to write about.

No one hears
even if you shout

no one reads

                           there is doubt
Loneliness is a killing thing

lump in the throat

numb and afloat feet
heart sinking and

missing the beat

Loneliness is a depressive thing

It comes in a day

when a dear one is

indifferent and far away

with reasons unknown
what can one say-


Loneliness is a lonesome thing

it stays with the lonely

and makes them sing

when they cannot fly

with their broken wings.

 Loneliness is a powerful thing

when it builds patience

when it fills emptiness

when it heals wounds

when it shows colors

when it reveals character

Loneliness is a powerful thing

when it does not come once

when it goes and returns
when it widens distances

when it cools the burns
Loneliness is the absence of response.
