The Road We Call Loneliness

My soul is quarantined;

disconnected fibers of my being

set adrift on a forgotten sea.

Shards of desolate days stretch one into the other;

frozen in their cloistered time.

They tease and taunt me.

My mind is withdrawn.

As I try to think I'm disjointed from those I see.

On my own amidst an ocean of those who live and breathe.

My heart, unattended beats solo against

the orchestrated sounds of humanity.

I wander, disassociated from reality

playing solitaire in this game called life.

Stumbling wildly down the road we call loneliness.
