Lonely
I can tell you what it feels like
But you really don’t want to know
I can dream that it will be alright
As it has continuously grown
Books and advice go on for days
But they don’t tell what is felt
The consistency of it, is evil and stays
On your mind like nothing else.
The day will come and I will choose
Miserable longer? Or freedom and rest?
This is an ending I’ll never wish upon you
I’m trying to do my very best
But you really don’t want to know
I can dream that it will be alright
As it has continuously grown
Books and advice go on for days
But they don’t tell what is felt
The consistency of it, is evil and stays
On your mind like nothing else.
The day will come and I will choose
Miserable longer? Or freedom and rest?
This is an ending I’ll never wish upon you
I’m trying to do my very best

Such an amazing depiction of loneliness. You've captured its essence wholly in this poem. And that last stanza is very powerful.

Thank you for the nice compliment. This subject could conform to describe a variety of things, I imagine. In this case , it happens to be about cancer.
Thank you for reading

Read with that knowledge, it's painfully clear. Without that knowledge, it does indeed cross over into other states of being. Not an easy subject to put words to and you've done it. I apologize for misreading its meaning. It's a remarkable poem.

I hope you continue to fight through this horrible illness; however, understand the fatigue and desire for peace contrasting such pain and isolation from the world.
You're in my thoughts and I'm always glad to see you post.

Thanks very much. It is the headliner on my subject list atm. I see a fork in the road in my very near future. ( My lovely dr. said I could just call hospice to get pain meds easier. Such a doll, he is....)
-One way to the "fuck it - be done with it " route, or one of these clinical trials I am trying to get into, will accept me. clock is ticking.
