AFRAID OF BEING ALONE
The feeling of loneliness
grips me with terror,
and tears I cannot control
ceaselessly fall from my eyes.
I cry for what I think is lost
but, in reality,
is merely misplaced.
My stomach in knots,
I try to bring reason to this
unfounded fear.
But rational thinking eludes me.
Darkness envelops my spirit.
Panic sets in as another empty day
threatens any sense of contentment.
And tears, never fully contained,
continue their merciless journey.
