Loneliness
Loneliness settles in
Like the fog on a dark night
Slowly creeping up to devour everything in its path
The light shines down in the morning
And the fog is pushed back,
But it’s always lurking there, just out of sight
Waiting for the light to disappear
Waiting for you to least expect it
Before it comes up and devours you again
A heavy weight settling on your chest
Thoughts you can’t escape, trapped in your head
Longing for human interaction, but even then you feel it
Not fitting in, not connecting
Even in a crowd of people, you feel alone
Alone
