Desperately Lonely, Tragically Invisible

The times we share together
Are magical memories in the making
Leaving me at peace
In total contentment with us

Your radiant warmth surrounds my soul
Protecting it from loneliness
Of the countless years of neglect
That fights so hard to hold on

My arms are there to wrap your warmth
Ensure that it never grows cold
With the coldness that comes along with indifference
Or being as thin and transparent as cellophane 

We will never again
Be desperately lonely, tragically invisible
Left alone in purgatory
By the broken promises of false love

Now we are one
Except when we need the strength of two
Companions in every endeavor
Hand in hand through life
