Being Lonely
Numbness arrives,
unannounced, unwelcome,
no knock at the door.
On the matte of my expectations it wipes its feet.
Drowning in my sorrows
joy, happiness, serenity scatter,
like splashed droplets
in a hot frying pan.
Color fades to shades of gray.
Light dims to a faint shimmer,
casting shadows of despair
over my eyes.
As a sloth I become motionless,
without intent or direction.
Lost within myself
dead calm drains my sails.
In this overwhelming
of emptiness,
is then, I truly understand,
what it feels like, to be lonely.

this poem hits
the nail on the head! Only someone who has felt this way can write with so much feeling and intensity! Excellent.
