Loneliness

loneliness drowns the tender reed
loneliness leaves your soul to bleed
loneliness an endless aching need
loneliness just you, it's only seed
loneliness it's the heart, afraid of breaking
loneliness a nightmare, afraid of waking
loneliness that never learns to dance
loneliness that never takes the chance
loneliness who cannot seem to give
loneliness that never learns to live
loneliness the road has been too long
loneliness for the lucky and strong
