Loneliness

 Stirring the stillness of the night

Between walls, lifeless, monochrome

As the lone bug's agitated wings

Hark back and scream, 'Home', 

Even without memory to aid me

I can feel the strong emptiness

At the severance of the umbilical cord

The first taste of loneliness

The day I walked upright

Called for many a celebration

But the earth hugged me no more

What a bittersweet separation

Beyond the watchful glances

Stepping out of home's care

Beyond its comforting confines

Alone, into the world out there

Attempting to forge new bonds

Causing some old ones to break

Caught in a web of threads

Tangled, in a warmth, fake

The inevitable untangling is due

I, am the person I miss

For once, being all alone 

Seems like heavenly bliss

Amid the hundred voices and glares

I see myself retrogress

Into a womb with no umbilical cord

But with an abundance of loneliness
