Loneliness

Loneliness is a funny thing

It creeps up from within

One moment you are basking in sunshine

The next you are sinking

It pulls you down, it tears you up

It makes you think you're out of luck

It's a silent killer, suffered by all

Many battle, sadly some fall

I write this feeling lonely and sad

But I am not angry, no I am not mad

Perhaps I'm deserving, of being alone

Of desperately seeking communication on the phone

But I cannot bear all, it is not done

It is not fair, it is not fun

To burden others with my sorrow

No theirs must be a happy tomorrow

Loneliness and sadness are healing, or so I hear

Good for the soul, to shed a tear

Because you cannot have one without the other

You cannot have happiness without losing a lover
