I look deep inside myself
And wonder why I am so alone
I have acquaintances and friends
Best friends as well
But what I lack is someone to love
To hold and cherish
Even in a room filled with people I know
And whom I call my friends
I feel empty and lonely and unloved
A loneliness that hurts
And burns my heart and soul
I have spilled a lot of lonely tears
Not through my eyes
But with my soul within
This loneliness contorts my soul
Leaving me empty and hurt
I still wonder why this pain exists
If only it could go away
I could be content
But how will that ever happen
How could someone fall in love
With someone that has a crying soul
This loneliness is eating at my soul
Working its way out
Until I am nothing more
But an old man whom will die
And be the only one attending the funeral
