She wrote a letter to Loneliness
And licked the seal with one,
Darting lash of her tongue.
A blank envelope stared back.
‘Where are you?’
She wrote inside,
‘I’ve been searching
In the crevices
Of quiet corners
For your silence’.
‘I checked
On the stools
Of abandoned bars,
Beneath the stage
Of a million stars,
And all I found
Was Company.’
The address line collected dust.
So she set down the letter again
And took up her pen
To fill a new space
(As she always does.)

Love this – I like the idea of longing for solitude within the chaos of our lives.

Thanks Chris! I had to really hunt for the right words to make sense of the bizarre reality, that we are never really entirely alone in this life. Thanks for reading š

Not really, but when I was into music before, I used to do musical mashups.
