The Lonely

Nights like this, the lonely is here
The lonely stalks, walks and moves with me

Slowly at first, creeping, sneaking
Wanting more, craving more.

Like fire seeking oxygen
Like moths to flames

Slowly circling
Then closer and faster

The lonely seeks me, for I heed its call
I hear it from within, calling me,
breathing down my neck

It's warm breath sliding under my skin
It's sirens song singing me to succumb

Convincing me to give up what I have
what I've worked hard for,
To have what I've desired for so long.

and within that moment the lonely has it's way
I fall slowly into it's embrace

and with that the lonely is gone....
