It hurts me so this loneliness
Eating me away
Like something dark and cancerous
Killing me each day

It burns me this unloving
Fiery deep inside
A furnace fuelled by anger
From which I cannot hide

The pain is never ending
Throbbing sore and red
Banging on my nerve ends
It spreads inside my head

Relief is not an option
The pain is meant to be
Caused by something evil
Forever part of me

I don’t know how it started
I just know that it’s here
Gnawing at my reason
Filling me with fear
