Solitude of the Heart

I find my thoughts expanding more and more
But still the words are left unspoken
The past is just a memory
Where conversations were never broken

So many times I was consumed
By words spoken from others
To help each other heal our wounds
In the end we’d become lovers

Now these days I live alone 
With no one but God in my heart
I meet someone new now and then
With no thought of where to start

And in a moment my chance is lost
Due to my lack to entertain
For feelings I keep inside
To shield from a chance of pain

Now this lonely life I live
Surrounded by people in love
In me I find envy for them
For it’s all I seem to think of

Because love of another 
Is what I pursue
To have a hand to hold
And express my thoughts to.

Yet still I hide how I feel
And keep it bottled inside
But the fear of dying alone
Increases with pass of time
