Prisoner Of Loneliness

Sahrish Iftikhar

I am the prisoner of my loneliness 
It sucks away my happiness 
Filling me with depression and sadness 
Tattering me 
Shattering me 
Scattering my soul in darkness 
The cursing darkness makes me scream with pain 
A tear drops 
A fire that burns inside me 
Dies away 
Leaving behind 
Ashes of my memories and happiness 
A feeling of emptiness 
Haunts me 
Kills me 
Here I die 
With numbness

This was like the last piece of my writing before the gap of a little more than 2 years. Didn’t write anything in that gap, felt so empty, didn’t stop writing after the break was over.
