The stone in my heart

A. Williams 2009 (Missouri)



I remember the day i caught loneliness, it was the day we moved away it "lay like a stone in my lap" and matter how hard i tried prying, tearing it simply would not go away i never knew emptiness until that day i remained a pebble lost in a world so vast and uncaring cast aside, pasted by left astray i took steps to destroy it before saped me, crushed me, left me victim i pulled hard ripping that stone right from my heart and threw it all back into the void from where it came yes, i had thrown loneliness away.
