Lonely

Loneliness, the most versatile of emotions.

Your weary heart can ache and burn 

or you can just feel numb.

You can hurt.

You can be empty. 

The loneliness may subside in company...

or grow when drowning in the same.

It can be impossible to appease,

or vanish with a simple greeting.

But the worst kind of loneliness

is when you are surrounded by people

but you still are alone.
