Loneliness

[Dastrix Slogan]

come and take a walk with me
my oldest, closest friend
the party's died, all have left
except for you, and me, again

lets not take the travelled path
many lifetimes lost that way
vivid paintings still burn my mind
in brilliant shades of grey

i feel you hold my hand again
and yet theres no comfort
no warm shelter to hide myself,
at least you bring no hurt

now as we walk into the night
bring my crying to a halt
for as the tears run down my lips
i no longer taste the salt

my foe, my friend, my comfort zone
nothing you expect me to do
and in return I fear no scorn
but you are no stranger, are you?

Damn, very nice work!!

A feeling to which so many of us can relate

i enjoyed this... despite the subject matter, there is a sense of peace and acceptance in the telling.

but you are no stranger, arent you

im not sure about that last line, "but you are no stranger, are you?" reads better to me (?)

^^^I couldn't figure out that last line myself. I think you are right.

Thank you for your comments!
