Loneliness Drips Down the Walls

2007

Loneliness creeps in softly

stealing into your house

while it is occupied

you are the only residence

it permeates the room with a colorless fume free odor

but yet successfully permeates the pores of your skin

it is omnipresent

but evades capture

it climbs up to the ceiling and drips down the walls

loneliness I invite you to be my newest friend

I can't keep you at bay anymore

most of the few people in my life have exited out the side door

they ran for it after the show was over

there was no more entertainment to be had so they went home

i was left with you

we make a great couple

you can turn a deaf eye to my concerns yet be my constant companion

its okay loneliness I will learn from you

i will overcome you

you will help me be okay with being alone.

I like the rich and descriptive imagery in this - one tiny question, is it resident or residence?

K l it is supposed to be resident. You will find a plethora of mistakes lurking in my pieces lol. Thanks
