Loneliness

As I walk into my empty house

Midnight silence by my side

And loneliness bullying from behind

The darkness seeps into my heart

Like water through a hole in the dam

Threatening damage and destruction

The bright and sparkling moon

Looks pale and sad to me

Stars laughing at its dark patch

The cool and fresh breeze suffocates me

 And I long for the poisonous smog

That envelops the city now and then

 

But my resilient heart soon gathers itself,

Cajoles me and takes me to its repository

Asking me to search for a brighter moment

I crawl and fumble looking for the brightest

To my surprise I find all lived ones are the darkest

Sparkling one is the one to be lived

My heart laughs at my discovery

And ask me to walk through the only door

The door that never opens to the darkness.
