Loneliness

Some people describe loneliness as the feeling we have when our need for social contact and relationships isn't met. But loneliness isn't the same as being alone. You may feel content without much contact with other people. But others may find this a lonely experience. Some people may only feel lonely at certain times.

Loneliness, You Can See It In My Eyes

You can see it in my eyes,
The ache that seems to paralyze.
A longing deep inside my heart,
That tears my being all apart.

How cruel it is to be alone,
To feel like you are on your own.
An emptiness that never fades,
A feeling that just seems to pervade.

I try to reach out, to connect,
But always seem to deflect.
The world just feels so far away,
And yet I long for someone to stay.

Oh, loneliness, a bitter pill,
A wound that just refuses to heal.
But deep inside, a flicker of hope,
Somehow, I will find a way to cope.

For though the world may still be cold,
My spirit will stay young and bold.
And even in the darkest night,
I'll find the strength to hold on tight.

LONELY AND TIRED OF LIFE

Lonely and tired of life,
I wander aimlessly through the night.
No one to hold, no one to care,
I feel as if nobody is there.

The stars above twinkle bright,
But offer no comfort, no respite.
The wind howls a mournful tune,
Echoing my heart's lonely gloom.

I long for a shining light,
To guide me through this endless night.
A hand to hold, a friend to share,
Someone to show me that they care.

But for now I am alone,
In this darkness I must atone.
For the wounds that cut so deep,
And the memories I cannot keep.

Lonely and tired of life,
Yet I cling to the faintest hope.
That someday, someone will come
To ease this pain, and help me cope.
