Loneliness
| The ageless beast assaults me, Enshrouding me in its cloak. It crushes my ragged breath away, Leaving my body bruised and broke. Fanged teeth pierce my flesh, Jagged claws tear me apart. The beast rips savagely at my chest To devour my quivering heart. I struggle in vain against the beast Although I fight with all my might; Holding fast for the mornings birth And an end to this torturous night. Yet, even as the new day dawns The onslaught does not halt. For the beast, now deep inside of me, Continues its endless assault. I fear I cannot defeat the beast For its rage continues to swell. It tears away my hopes and dreams, Leaving me trapped within my hell. I cannot run to north or south, There’s no escape from my distress With woeful heart I surrender to – This beast called Loneliness. |

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?"
"Writing is my passion."
