216. Oh so Lonely: Write a poem about what you do when you are alone - do you feel lonely or do you enjoy your own company?

Silence wraps,
enfolds,
entraps

Eyes blink,
tears sink
screech

Slide down,
without sound
unfound

I miss him
I see him
In dreams and whims

Without the world,
With noise unfurled
I die

In my loneliness
In my own presumptuous sin
In my own selfish desire to win

*

I am only lonely for one person. It's the one person I will never have. He haunts my dreams and my thoughts when I have nothing else to occupy him. Maybe I keep myself so busy to stave off his remembrance. But when I am alone, I succumb and hate him, because he destroys my own sense of myself with his very memory.
