The Loneliness That Lives Inside

It lives inside me.
Always trying to get out.
It creeps and seeps into my day, my night.
I feel it heavy on my heart.
Loneliness.
It lives inside me, I try to fight it, deny it, and even forget it.
And sometimes I do.
My loneliness comes in tears, in fears of being alone and always wanting.
Will I always feel this way?
The want that causes loneliness is the worst.
I feel undeserving of this need.
I resent it.
Why do I want and need it?
Why does loneliness follow me around?
Living in my heart, keeping me company.
Loneliness is my friend.
I am truly not alone when loneliness is around.
This thought makes me happy and oddly light-hearted.
Loneliness has served its purpose.
To not let me feel lonely anymore.
Goodnight Loneliness, goodnight Renee.
Love Renee
