Being lonely is so wearing

Eyes averted fingers drum

Lasering of furtive glances

Pain of self-conscious hum

Repressed passion lashes

Terror of getting through

Fears that come unbidden

Desire versus inhibition

Self-image sorely racked

By corroded self-esteem

Egos that failure hacked

Behaviours only reinforce

Self-loath...
