Description

Loneliness isn't a person but, rather, an absence of people. Or, to be more precise, the feeling of no one's presence except your own. To be lonely, then, as in this poem, is to feel the presence of absence, the companionship of no one, and the company of a person who isn't a person at all.

Contributor's Note

Rebekah Erway is a lover of words and how they fit together to roll off tongues and into minds, presenting ideas that people knew but didn't recognize, pointing them towards God and his truth.
