The plague got me albeit, not fatally.
On the road to recovery, my heart aches.
Because it has also taken a toll on my loved ones.
Whose lives are on a sudden pause.
Whose lives I've put at risk.
I'm sorry.
But I've already been living in isolation long before the pandemic lockdown.
The past few years have been my loneliest
And the pandemic, the omnipresence of social deterioration, and protractedness of it all
Just seems so overwhelming.
I can’t smile.
I’m numbed by cold inside and out.
I constantly feel alone in a world full of people
Cold and unfeeling
In a cold unfeeling world.
