Dying of Loneliness

Unable to withstand
the onslaught of loneliness
I yearn for a touch
from outside myself

Taste of an apple
too long on the ground
Fallen, unwanted
'till even the core is dry

Birds pass by
flowers grow near
none can see me
for I am within

with only the rain
to moisten my soul

Yearn for a touch outside myself...great line. Very vivid and descriptive in such a small amount of words. I see desperation in this work, too. Loneliness will do that to you, make you desperate for a touch, any touch, it doesn't even have to be sweet as long as its real. I really really like this one Schley.
