i don't know if im gonna be alone forever
but i do know that
i am going to feel lonely forever

i will be filled with this overbearing sadness
that runs through my veins
and drips down cheeks
and screams from my lips

i will be poured with overwhelming guilt
that pumps in my heart
and dances in my brain,
it will shine in my eyes

i shall be showered with warm embraces
but their hands will prick my skin
and their arms will bruise my body
leaving me cold and shivering

and the loneliness will creep up on me
growing through my body
shining a light through cracked skin
piecing together my shattered soul

and i will be wrapped in an cold embrace,
yet it will feel soft on my skin like silk
making my chest pump gently like a river
as my lips part, curving up slowly

my loneliness holds me tightly
so i do not feel as alone anymore
