loneliness

savor companionship,
for if it gets lost in a foreign sea,
the world turns gray, 
dark and bleak.

savor companionship,
for if it gets frozen in time,
the world might catch on fire,
and the pain won’t subside.

savor companionship,
for if it gets swept up by a storm,
the world might bleed,
and will taste so bittersweet.

savor companionship,
for if a cage locks it up,
the world for you will end,
and will have to wait to begin again.
