Unheeded

Loneliness creeping in
Rifling through my thoughts
A jewel thief clandestinely
Searching for that priceless gem
Leaving no stone unturned
Warning not heeded at all
No real precautions taken
Occupying my wandering mind
the only possible defense
Tiring myself out, work and miles
The only method of attack
Finding a smile and kindness
At those unexpected moments
My means of escape
