It's like the family member you never speak of, but in reality is the one in whose company you most keep.
The skeleton in the closet.
Only allowed out in solitude.
The friend that never leaves you alone.
Constant nagging for your attention.
Dropping by uninvited.
Always there when you're on your own.
Forever and always true, some sadly conform to.
You can depend on it to stay, if you wish it.
And even though you don't, when you look back, there it lays.
Loneliness.
It's sure to instill unwanted conviction.
Sadness, self-pity, spite?
It may even take you to a place in your mind
That you wouldn't dare dream.
Death? No I've never been.
Don't you see the undue scheme?
Do you really want to live within the boundaries of something that cannot breathe?
I've stared loneliness in the face
As clear as my own reflection
Deep inside a mirror.
It's real.
You can't deny it
Or simply wish it away like fluff.
Disguised in your pretty smile.
Hiding in your good lies.
So how do you rid yourself, from this stupendous vile?
You can build your armour stronger.
Flex the muscles in your brain.
You can exercise endorphins.
You can laugh in the presence of pain.
And even spin around in the free-space of Grace.
I stared loneliness in the face.
Behind bars, is where it preys.
Though I am free to leave it far,
beyond the walls of my untamed heart.
But I'm you're friend!
Remember me?
We met at the corner on Dark Street.
I'm the one who lets you lead.
Oh please wont you marry me?
Don't be fooled by empty promises.
For it can't live outside a being.
It actually needs you to survive
In order to make a debut season.
Do you really want to give in
To the one who'll take control
Of your unreserved given life?
So don't believe the voice of treason.
It speaks only in tongues of lies.
Thus, listen to the One who lays beside you when you cry.
Whisperings of the Kind One.
Whose tears are stained with the blood of Life.
His ways are higher than mine and they always lead to more Love.
