"Loneliness"

e.e. cummings
said it all with 3 short words
inside of that one dreaded word.
That one word that I could write
about forever, because I
know it so abnormally well.
He said it all with 4 words.

It’s all been said-
better than me. I’m just
another depressed writer
who sees the truth of life.
I know the forbidden truth-
We are all alone, but can’t deal
with such agonizing thoughts
so we lie. Life is lies.

I don’t want to lie anymore.
