Loneliness
Abigail Higgott
Loneliness is a beaten, battered teddy bear stuck in a cold, grubby charity shop, his only companion the bright silver moon blazing through the greasy, smeared window.
Loneliness is a small, whimpering panda cub in a smoky dirty landfill, which once was his home
Loneliness is a dusty, untouched piano in the corner of a large, grand living room, his keys buckled and broken.
Loneliness is a tall, foggy hill, looming above a lively, bustling town with nothing but a dead oak tree on its surface.
Loneliness is an outdated avocado in the back of the fridge, the one thing that nobody wants.
Loneliness is like my mum, a lost, broken soul with a piece of her life missing, a priceless jewel stolen out of a museum.
