Eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner
Aloneness became my best friend
Being around all the time
It sourced my sense of being alive
Feeling alone
You became a guardian
And my best friend
The only one that stayed
Always
You became the closed door
To a world deep inside
A dried out landscape
A desert
With nothing but vast emptiness
Needing to be hidden
Unexposed
Unbearable to feel and show
Ashamed of barebone roughness
No love in sight
Now exposed
I thank you aloneness for keeping me safe
For so long
And ask you to step aside
So that love can find me
