The Creature of Lonliness

by

Dan Dressler

I fear the worst fear; of loneliness
What good does it do to reminisce
Of past thoughts at hand and fear in the mind
Many people beware of this similar kind

This Monster in me is a breathtaking sight
Its damage is heartless with all fears held tight
It's a crewel part of me that denies me my life
Withholds all imagined with jealousy and strife

The thing from the depths of my senile mind
Eats away at the thoughts of an innocent kind
Apprehension is here but my mind is not
Instinct is present; yearning a lot

My only soul has fled with all sanity
What an intelligent thing to leave me behind.
To be eaten away ever slowly at first
Loneliness haunts me; I prepare for the worst

In the eyes of the monster I fear in fright
Whether it's here to stay I question it not
My stomach churns; my adrenaline burns
The creature is here but my soul is not

Although face to face I look at another.
An image like me, facing the pest
Another existence another mess
Although nothing like me his fear; loneliness

Men fight for our country, proud of pride
As I by myself, in fear simply hide
Of a creature up here, all in my mind
A devastating tension builds as I cry

I stay in one place as the worlds progress
It moves on without me, I'm doomed to retrogress
I'm a thing of the past; a failure's witness
As I cope with the monster of loneliness
