Loneliness...

It creeps up…
On my strength
On my happiness
On my life

It opens up…
My chest of fears
My bag of insecurities
My house of hidden sorrows

Just when I find my ground,
Just when I find meaning
In this meaningless existence

It starts crawling on me…
It sucks on happiness
On my contentment

How cruel, how selfish,
This black, dark loneliness.
