"Hello there loneliness, how are you today?"
Your silence says it all.
"Would you like to stare at the walls with me?"
Of course you would, that's why you're here.
"Lovely weather don't you think?"
Oh, you don't want to go out.
"I think I will close the curtains then, if that’s okay?"
You enjoy the darkness.
"Have I received any calls today?"
There hasn’t been any for a week.
"Wow, aren’t you quiet today?"
The only sound is my voice.
"I had a funny dream last night you know?"
I wished it would never end.
"Oh, how come I can’t remember it?"
You’re presence makes me forgetful.
"I think I will have a drink, want to join?"
You much prefer the vodka.
"Should I mix it with something else?"
Those pills should give it a kick.
"Should I turn off the phone? Save the battery?"
Yes, that would be wise.
"Is there anything that I have forgotten?"
I really should lock the door.
"Well that’s all done, let’s get on shall we?"
You always liked to watch.

Very real poetry here, speaks directly to the reader. Though it's not my favorite topic by far, I think you've really nailed the scene and the feelings well. Parts of it actually reminded me of the bad idea bears from the musical Avenue Q if you know the reference.
Nothing bad to say about this, just a couple of small edits for spelling/grammar:
**There haven’t been any for a week. (hasn't to haven't)
**"Wow, aren’t you quiet today?" (you could make "you" italic here)
**Your presence makes me forgetful. (You're to Your)
I would have put the unspoken lines in italics but I don't know how to do it on here and when I copy and paste it from my word document onto here, it changes it back to normal. Do you know how I can do it?
Once again thanks for the feedback, your time and effort are much appreciated
