Loneliness

is not
being alone
is not
missing family
is not
living away
is not
a singles bar
one tv dinner
one dirty spoon in the sink

cannot be cured
by
people
places
things
action
excitement
sex
money
toys

it is
another type
of cancer
destroys the
heart

it runs from
open arms
open heart
giving
loving
encouragement
compansionship
laughter
stepping outside
forgetting me
moving from
internal
to external

the disease
self-want
the cure
helping others
knowing
yourself
