LONELINESS

LONELINESS

Loneliness,

a serious matter,

inherent with aging. 

Family, friends, and

things that mattered,

gone,

disappeared.

No one to talk to….

All alone.

No sense of belonging,

A burden to all.

Time passes slowly,

time to ponder 

moments spent,

life wasted,

things right, and

things wronged.

Today’s news holds no interest

with no one to share.

What matters to some,

you simply don’t care. 

Tiredness,

seeps through your bones. 

Sleep,

once welcomed, 

no longer your friend, 

filled with memories 

of when…… 

things, 

were….. 

much better.

Time to consider 

dying,

and death, and wonder……

the mysteries surrounding your end.

Of heaven and hell you give them no thought,

rebirth and multiverse,

well,

perhaps.

Alone,

it’s so frightening.
