Isolation
Caged in a cave with bats my only friends
I want them o leave me alone, get out of my head
But they love the darkness almost as much as I
I hear them flapping, just outside the bars they fly
Echoing off the walls they sing in sonic waves without tempo
Seemingly random screeches like my rhymes without flow
A song without translation creating chaos in my mind
Yet somehow I understand how the darkness makes them blind
For I cannot see that I hold the keys to leave my dungeon any time
And I don't want to go outside and disturb my paradigm
I want them o leave me alone, get out of my head
But they love the darkness almost as much as I
I hear them flapping, just outside the bars they fly
Echoing off the walls they sing in sonic waves without tempo
Seemingly random screeches like my rhymes without flow
A song without translation creating chaos in my mind
Yet somehow I understand how the darkness makes them blind
For I cannot see that I hold the keys to leave my dungeon any time
And I don't want to go outside and disturb my paradigm

Unpleasant and creepy isolation this is. Normally I isolate myself in my room with music on, and it's quite enjoyable. But I love the imagery you have created so much.....
Love, RoseJasmine

It's just how I feel metaphorically. Creepy is a good word to describe it. My love frightens women, so I must lock myself away. It's just safer that way. I hate bats but if no one else will love me, beggars can't be choosers...

Isolation is a slow- suicide. Self inflicted pain. I love you JJ! I LOVE YOU! Come out of the cave and leave the darkness behind. There's light in you! 😘
Enjoyed the metaphoric madness of your pen. Xo

i adore you Tara, even love you as a dear friend, but my pain is too real and too strong, at least now. I don't know how long it will be before I will even feel like crawling back out. I just know I have had my heart broken so many times I can't let it happen again. The older I get the less pain my heart can take. The closer I get to death just reminds me my loneliness is not going to end. I'm 54 and I have never had love in my life and the moment I started thinking it might happen, finally, God reached his f-ing hand down from the dark cloud he planted above my head the day I turned 20 and made damn sure I wasn't going to find love this time either. What possible reason can I have to want to go through the misery I have lived for the past 34 goddam years. Solitude is the only way to stop the madness, at least until I die. Then god will send me to hell for eternity just to make sure I never experience a moment of happiness in heaven. Maybe it's just all my doing, maybe there is no god, at least then the pain will end when I'm dead. There is no other way for me to look at the events of my life for the past 34 years and come to any other conclusion. One dreadful day after another without any happiness. Obstacles from nowhere that make no sense time after time after time. I can't believe I was so stupid to think this time would be any different. You have no idea how obscured this is. Because I felt too strongly I am a scary beast unworthy of love. Why would I ever want to come out of this cave?
