A Conversation with my Loneliness

Hello old friend

Here I am again

I see you’ve been waiting

You will no doubt remind me

That you told me I’d be back

I didn’t believe you did I?

I should have known better

Though in my defense

I almost didn’t

It almost worked

I’m not sure I’m sorry

I’m not sure of anything

Hand me my glass though

I sure am thirsty

I do remember being happy

Or was that an illusion?

You’re never an illusion though are you?

You’re more real every time

Always waiting

I know you don’t hold grudges

So let me tell you right now

I will leave again

I will not stay here

Even if I have to keep coming back

You may keep my glass full and my chair ready

But I will keep leaving

Until I never have to return I’ve never missed you old friend, and I never will.
