Breeze of Loneliness

Sitting alone in a quite park,
Feeling blue for the day turns dark,
It’s like my life becomes black and white,
Eyes looks weary it’s not as alive and bright.

Hearing the sounds of birds,
Flying softly in the cloudy skies.
Want to reach out and be with them,
Free to explore and free from my pain.

The cold breeze of air hit my skin.
Because I’m wearing a shirt that is too thin,
Freezing my body and my emotion,
Loneliness in me resides with the biggest portion.

A breeze ruffled the leaves to ease my pain,
Loneliness engulfs my being and who’s to blame?
Pretending to be strong when my heart is broken.
Where are you my love, is it really the end?
