Arms In Which To Hide

Always surrounded by people Yet I always feel so lonely The lady let escape From her lips As the feeling poured From eyes so beautiful They always draw a crowd So many people talking As she screams out loud No one can hear For none will listen There only for the laughter And to share her touch To drink in what they see Not to look inside All the fun of the moment Tends to fade when days grow long When all you need is a place to hide But truth reveals no arms to hold Just boasts with new stories told So she tries to ignore How alone she is Hoping no one sees What she really feels Yet in all the photographs to attract I see in each one exposed The lonely hurt of a girl Hoping someone will seek to look Beyond what a picture shows To discover what Her true heart knows And not seek to boast But give her arms In which to hide

There have been many times when I've wished to find the "arms in which to hide," Mike. It's hard to ignore the loneliness, but sometimes easier to hide it. Love, Carolyn
