Alone

Alone 

Loneliness is mournful sound

A long and plaintiff note

An echo of an echo

With no one else around

No one to listen 

No one to share

No one to shelter

No one to care

Loneliness is a desolate place

Far from the beaten path 

Footsteps faded long ago

With no way to retrace 

No one to find you

No one to try

No one to miss you 

No one to cry

Loneliness a story never told

A sad and sordid lie

Broken hearts that never loved

Gave no lovelorn's alibi 

No one to confess to

No one to believe

No one convict you

No one to reprieve 

Loneliness nevermore will fly 

A caged and Wounded bird

Feather bare with broken wings

It's song no more is heard

No one to sooth

No one to mend 

No one to caress

No one to pretend

Loneliness lives among a love

To each other we atone

Loneliness is lonelier still

When together we're alone

No one really sees you

No one with love's eyes

No one shares your secret heart

No one wants to die

Alone
