LONESOME

Such a cruel emotion

Often, standing in a crowded room

feel so alone it’s like a tomb.

It spits at logic, the feeling that comes down

When I felt like this, I wear such a frown

I know I am in love, and give back all the time

Know I have love and thank God it is mine

But this empty hollow feeling

like everyone has left me

and I just stand there reeling.

I am not part of this scene

Can’t identify with people that are mean

I need more love than anyone I know

And you are such a heavenly diversion

When you are near I feel such a glow

How long will I have you before you go away

It hurts so much, the games you play.

But I looked at a photograph of you

I love you so and

can’t think of anything else to do

with you, I am whole.

Without you I am through
