The Loneliest Loneliness



Sometimes when you love someone
You don't care who gets hurt
And even if you were to care
Those feelings won't divert
Feels like the weight of the entire world
Can rest on your weak shoulders
There are no mountains high enough
There are no deadly boulders
You could walk the universe
No matter if you're lame
To find the one you love so much
For them you'd take all blame
Their hands, your heart,
Their heart, anothers'  hands
You'll beg, you'll plead , long for their touch
No ear to your demands
And as the envy covers you
Chaos ensues so fast
And as your guard then tends to fall
All you'll hear is the blast
So as the smoke begins to clear
Your body feels the pain
And where you once stood so tall
Now you lie in the stain
When as the blood runs out of you
Is red, was once true blue
Where is the one you love so much?
Would they have died for you?

About this poem

I feel that we are all lonely. And being an individual you are, in fact, alone. But in this loneliness we struggle to find that "one thing" that completes us. That makes us whole. But what if that "one thing" rejects us? Do we accept our fate and and linger on? Do we lash out in anger? Or do we simply fade into nothingness? Here is one such scenario.
