I try to pretend it doesn't matter,
that I don't notice
but it's always there right beside me
sometimes it's my only companion.

Just outside-they come and go
often they look inside
sometimes they stay briefly
but only "it" is constantly there.

I can't remember when I didn't have it
all my life, every moment
right there, never going away
forever with me, inside myself.

What is "it"? How did I come to have "it"?
I don't know, I have always felt it
always seen it, known it.

As I get older it becomes stronger, closer,
crowding in on me
I can't keep it out
even when I'm inside myself.

"It" is loneliness
ever present
always reminding me of it's presence,
unstoppable.

I have never had anyone who seemed to break through
For short periods I sometimes thought they had
But then they were gone and it was still there
taunting me, insisting that it will stay until I
am no longer.

I really loved this~
But then they were gone and it was still there
taunting me, insisting that it will stay until I
am no longer.  


It does feel like a dead end but what a wonderful challenge as well, to discover.

I enjoyed this a great deal.  Some of the words are so well written, there vividly appearing in my head right now.  Writing, painting, sports, whatever hobbie you might have, letting out your feelings into a different venue is always important in moving forward in life.  Keep on writing, I look forward to what you have to offer.
