earth as a lonely planet,
would be wrapped up in pleasantries,
with a happy little laugh,
and a kiss from cheek to cheek,
but disguised behind scorn and deceit.
it would be friendship coated in sugar,
and soaked in sunshine,
am artificial light at the end if the tunnel,
a hope and aching,
for love and care.
but then the sugar would dissolve,
the sunshine dimming,
leaving you lonely and devastated,
a washing of despair,
shattered and exhausted.
earth would be the loneliest planet,
because even surrounded by people,
the appearances and fake smiles,
would weigh on your mind,
and place a burden on your lungs.
