Nothing But Lonely

lonely people
take over life

the lives they take over
are never lived

the air they breath
is never really air

the looks they give
are never seen

lonely people
take over life

but they take over a life
that is not lived

so what they take
is never used

and what they say
is never heard

and what they see
is never really there

when loneliness sets in
life as we know it
ceases to exist.
