diagnosis: lonely

You don't know longing like me.
A decade untouched;
a lifetime without good touch.

My loneliness a leper
contagious and consuming
clinging to all those around me.

Channel it, move it,
funnel me art, a word, hole;
an endless and infinite.

That black hole gravity
pulling colorful, satin pearls,
out my eyes and into my bed.

The void for love,
I need and need, so much 
more than I'm willing to take. 

It's that Tuck Everlasting longing.
