The meaning of lonelinessA Poem by honeyleens
what does it mean to be lonely?
it feels like this: every time you're home yet i'm alone. so i sit by the window, coaxing smoke, out of dim lit cigarettes. watch the chill break out of my skin, and hope i can feel again. i sit still in the tub, as if on pause, and listen to the water fall. an ache, filled still with tepid water from the bath. how do i still feel so unclean, unsure and unredeemed,
with soap on the skin, enclosed from heart to limbs? now, now, it seems to be so, my hands are trembling, and i am alone. © 2012 honeyleens |
