Addictive Loneliness

I used to be a people person,

I used to love people around,

But one day I was alone,

And in that loneliness, solitude I found.


I tried being with people again,

I tried making newer friends,

But I had tasted the loneliness savoury,

But I was already high on my own world inside.


I became addicted to myself,

So much so that,

In being alone,

I found solace,

In times sad,

Myself, I embrace.
