Soledad

By Spiritus_Frumenti

Loneliness makes everything feel quieter,
As people become ghosts
And the sky seems larger than you ever remembered

Things begin to change,
Yet you awake to the same pain
Like your heart just got broken

You could sit for hours staring
at something distant,
Something that perhaps is not there
Very much like you

At times,
You would write love letters
and read them out loud to no one
Just to make yourself cry

Thoughts of suicide linger,
But so does the hope
of witnessing something grand
Like one day you'll be able
to touch God's hand

Loneliness makes everything feel quieter,
As the end becomes a whisper
And the night seems darker than you ever remembered

    How this read directly from the depth of me and Im sure of many others as is to remind us that in a state of loneliness we are never alone...Im so glad I stumbled upon this piece tonight.

    And yet so beautifully glorious - that tang of despair - as sharp as desire itself...as deep as the need of belonging. The endless dichotomy, that rise and fall, ebb and flow of reality - the loneliness, quiet and a hushed whisper in the night

    suffused with tears and bleak imaginings poignantly one stanza bleakest with hope - the depths of the darkest soul is tinged with the light of perhaps a brand new day, and perfect new imaginings...brilliant...

    you always have this supreme way of expressing things that leaves me feelings dirty and unworthy in comparison...and that fourth stanza was ripped right from my heart..
