Lonely by Almira Lewis

Loudness of company,
Causes silence to abide,
Ringing of the ears,
Causes calmness of an itching mouth,
The lonely sinking in a little deeper,
With each knife’s thrust

An overwhelming power,
The spirit’s call,
A howling in the distance,
I am the force between conscious and unconsciousness
The lonely sinking in a little deeper,
With each knife’s thrust

My soul aches with the world’s burdens,
But I’m a burden to myself
Save yourselves,
For I have rejected the absence of humanity, securing my furtherance into the shadows
The lonely sinking in a little deeper,
With each knife’s thrust
