By how many empty bottlesare on my counter
By how many sleepless nights spent
By how hollow I feel sitting across a beautiful girl
Or perhaps lonliness is gauged by the losses we've had
I lost many women.
My fiance my mother
I lost my father to emotions muted by pain
or maybe just maybe
It is not gauged at all
I've got something for every nothing
It could be a trade
It could be of our own making
Lonliness is but an illness that comes and goes
How long it stays is just
How long we allow it [comments] => 3 [counter] => 144 [topic] => 13 [informant] => emokid [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
