Loneliness

Loneliness sometimes causes a person,
to go into a state of depression.
To battle this often the mind shifts
to pleasant times that have gone by.
Although living in the past,
is not likely a good idea for one in this state of mind.
But then again one has to do what they must,
to get through the day.

I myself in the past usually worked on the house,
when loneliness has set in.
Keeping yourself busy, often does help battle loneliness.
Although I seem lonely more hours of the day lately.

With my future being uncertain, it sure is hard
to stick with a plan that has been changed,
more times than I care to mention lately.
Not having a goal in life anymore,
is probably not good either.

Having absolutely no ambition
to do anything, has halted all work on this house.
Even tinkering lately seems like a chore.
I have to push myself to do anything at all.
I have become a hermit lately,
staying home all the time by myself.

You can find me here alone,
talking to someone I have been told
I don't believe in.
I keep talking to him anyway.
They say everything happens for a reason.
I sure would like some answers, to what reason
there is for the things that happened to me lately.

I hate to even go to the store, for the basic things
one needs to live.
If I stay at home by myself, I can avoid all those
uncomfortable questions people ask.
Then again being here alone, having no one
to love and hold allows loneliness, to set in again.
It seems one can't win.

If time heals all wounds,
I wish it would hurry up and heal mine.
