Oh, Loneliness.

Oh, familiar ache of my heart,
So long I’ve awaited your return!
I feared the feeling of loneliness
Had forgotten me, too.

Oh, sweet and intensifying pain,
Be gentle to me tonight, I plead;
Another ounce of this hurt
And it may turn into an overdose.

Oh, my ever present companion,
Sing me songs of drunken mistakes,
Tell me stories of heart break,
Remind me of every source of my pain.

Oh, my dark and covert addiction,
Satisfy my desires this rainy night;
Overwhelm me with your existence,
Make me feel a little less alone.

Oh, familiar ache of my heart,
You’re breaking me all over again;
Stay close and consume me,
So that I may not think his name tonight.
