There is no escape the damage has already been done.

The intense loneliness chases me relentlessly and never goes away?

I now welcome my new friend because I believe she is here to stay.

She won’t abandon or reject me when I feel vulnerable

She sits right beside me, holding my hand tightly

She helps make it all tolerable.

I cant believe I have something in which I can depend

Loneliness has proven herself to be my best friend.

She stands beside me everyday

Forcing me to accept myself this way.
