Loneliness

A hollow heart
Within the hollow 
Of a tree,
I sit

Around me, 
The forest 
Teams with life

But I have become
Its opposite

Past pain 
Numbs 

The Forest
Heaves 
Breathes
Life for my lungs
Love for my heart

But there is no one
Here to receive it

In solitude
Freedom awaits
In loneliness
Death stirs thickly.
