Faithful Loneliness

For twenty years he went through hell!
Heaven was positioned too far 
Above all of the clouds and stars,
From where all of his troubles fell.
From a distance, GOD wished him well,
Observing a life in a jar,
Taking note of all of his scars,
Unwilling to answer the bell.
Alone was how he always felt,
Since lonliness was in his face.
This lonliness made his heart melt,
Leaving behind an open space;
A space with which he always dealt,
Hoping that something would replace.
