Aloneness 

Loneliness is 

A state

Of mind,

Unwelcome

And unkind.

It creeps in

Sneakily

And wraps its

Tendrils

Tenderly

Until the

Host cannot

Breathe

And is left 

To only grieve.

So stop it

As it starts.

And honor

The others

In our hearts.

Cherish those 

On our minds

Lest they

Disappear

In our lives.
