Lonely

A telephone that seldom rings So many songs I never sing I open the door, but no ones there Where are all the people who say they care The world outside keeps going by As I look out the window and try not to cry Where did all the people go? The ones I love, I miss them so Long days turn into night It's oh so lonely till early morning light If I could only be what I used to be I know how proud you'd be of me But only then do I realize The lord is very very close by Then as I wipe away a tear from my eye I hear him say, my child do not cry And then I'm happy like I used to be Because I know he's here for me

I really like this one on loneliness and the way you ended on a positive note. Why acrostic? This is in couplet form!
