Lonely a home
By darkendomme
What is this loneliness that invites itself
into the home of my soul?
            Â
It opens no pretty windows for me and takes no part in ever having me once
again whole.
Loneliness furnishes my emotions with it's definition beneath starched
sheets lining my lone bed.
        The shouting it rants and raves through
my halls, deafening
my ears with it's intended ramblings of nothings said.
I hunch over velvet arms as the emptiness and hollow I feel in the bowels
of my belly tenants that familiar presence.
            My hate of self and pity's
back now turned bleeds
puddles
crawling across floor boards in obliged penance.
Loneliness peeks in the minds hidden closets and their shelves of mirrors
reflecting the beautiful Misery.
          The great listener to lying lips
salivates down my
lowly chin. Drowning in ponders pond of possibly's. The woe's deservingly
wails away the fight and that want to be free.
Leave the lights off to
shade the weakness drooling down my legs.
No more lappings in my
ears recalling your voice that once begged.
Hinges and glass doors showcase reasons for the pain. Broken pieces and
shattered minds recalling the room where my heart was slain.
          Â
 Continue your uninvited thickness in this most dreary
ah home my dark and seemingly demonic friend...
and I will welcome the scratching on my walls announcing when something
has arrived at it's perfected end.

A stark personification of what we are left with for company, when our mind runs wild and plunges into the deepest pits of an isolated misery that kills by degrees. Cheers DD and write it out my friend - Dan

As bfp said, so familiar and relatable. This felt like a voice over to your life, it had an almost cinematic quality, perhaps because it felt so intimate. Wonderful to read.
