we band together
in attempts to fend off
loneliness
and it works
for a time
two barely flickering
candles dancing alight
under a ghost ocean
ghastly shadows looming
ever larger
heavy sunken step by step
it always comes crawling back
sooner or later
crawling down your throat
into your heart and spirit
where it lurks
skulking on its throne
sculpted from
the caresses and carcasses
of thousands of dead dreams
and wasted chances
i'm sorry it hurts
