Only Lonely On the Inside
I sit for hours in front
of a computer screen
reading quotes about
life and love.
Messages are sent to
Me that I quickly save
As though I've been
Embraced with the
Warmest of hugs..
A window to the outside
World is all I ask
Hiding any real emotion
My hands then take on their
greatest task.
I don't say much back;
but thoughts of others on
paper all I'll ever have ....
Only lonely on the inside
my heart frail as glass....
Hide my face from the world
so that I can continue wearing the mask....
