.... It is often times
You forget

How loneliness feels
Until

It inexplicably
Sinks in.

Numb.
Fading sensations of Sadness,
Emptiness;

All REPLACED

By the dead feeling of empty space,

Only enough room for fragmented ghosts of CONTEMPLATION.

To be forgotten minutely
in the presence of a loved one,

And then to be recalled unforgivingly
in the absence of confidence.

I used to write all the time, only now my muse calls to me again, for a most melancholy reason. Be warned, I'm rusty, so it isn't so polished.

Beautifully written, I felt the loneliness sink in around me as I read this.
