Loneliness

It is me

And you

Together

Alone

I am alone

But never lonely

Share a will

Comprehend a thought

Make a dream real

Loneliness

It is where the heart

Is empty

Lacking

Insecure

Dark

Full of pain

Lust

And joy

Loneliness

It is

music

and art

poetry

and dance

death

and life

war

and birth

love and

hate

Loneliness

It is what I have inside

For I cannot find

It is what I have deep

For I cannot complete

It is what I hold onto

For I have its grip

It is a beauty of mine

For I pray to it nightly

It is a hunger

A thirst

A hope

For I am one

And for me

There is one

Loneliness

It’s what you think

What you cannot even

Bare to imagine

No one knows

But I am not he

Only he

Only them

Woman or Man

Firm

Tall

Short

Obese

Please show me the way

Beneath the sea

Part the ocean

Lead the way

I want your hand

Guide me out

Take my kiss

As I love you

My loneliness

Overcame

By your beauty
