The effects of loneliness in terms of isolation

Silence

There it is,

hanging over me again

like a hippie vulture

pretending to be unconcerned 

with my impending demise.

Quiet

Quiet

I didn't know

that it could accumulate

in such a mind-numbing fashion

that when you have nobody

you can get more of this nothing.

No sound

No sound

It is like

the world could be doing 

flip-overs outside my mind

and I wouldn't notice

to busy listening for my name.

Darkness

Darkness

There is a

total lack of sensory input.

All I can feel is myself

trying to get out.

All I know is me.
