A Cold Christmas Jingle


Loneliness is not just a feeling or a circumstance but it's a part of your very being, melting into existence. Like the blood flowing through your veins. You may not notice it for long periods. But it's always lurking in the shadows. It might be advisable to have it out in the open. When it's walking step to step with you - familiar. When it can't creep up suddenly on a Friday night. When its there day and night - your solid companion every evening. A reliable shoulder to cry on. And that's not all.  You will share a few laughs too and have plenty interesting conversations. But when you put it away in some dark alley of your mind and have forgotten the cold caress of loneliness-it can be a little jolting. A stranger who has suddenly decided to pull a chair on your table and disrupt what you had thought would be a lovely joyful dinner. And then distrust and doubt hampers your feeble attempts at enjoying its company.
It's better to befriend it and always have it around, to never lose sight of it- lest it becomes an occasional but formidable foe.
And then all you can try is ridding yourself of it like the blood flowing in your veins.
