Longing

The emptiness surrounds me
It fills me from inside,
I'm looking for the friendships,
I've so long been denied.

The vast expanse of sky above me,
Is plunging down to cover
All the sadness I've ever felt,
I dream I will be happy forever.

But nothing has happened
The sky is still in place
I'm still alone, and cold, and lost
A speck in this worldly space.
