Poem: Loneliness is the Killer (of my Heart)

Like the sand in the hour glass
She waits collapsed at bottom
Waiting for her turn
To start over again

Glass walls make a pretty cage
Where she can scream and scream
In a place where no one hears
The echoes of her despair

All the tears that are flowing
Slowly filling up her prison
Threatening to drown her
In her own sadness 

Loneliness is the killer
Of her broken heart
That all of her will
Can’t heal on its own
