The Story of a Lonely Girls Life

The tears have come, and the tears have gone,
The tears of regret, the tears of remorse,
The ache is only what’s left,
The ache of guilt, of being alone.

Loneliness surrounds me,
To be alone in a crowded room,
To hears peals of laughter bounce,
Bounce off the walls I have built around me.

With my own hands I built these walls,
Walls that entrap me, keep me abound,
No matter how hard I try,
I cannot pull them down at all.

This is very expressive, Angie. Tears have come and gone, but do allow the wound to heal. The scar will remain, but you do not need to be stuck in the middle of nowhere....time to strip off the gown of blame and start afresh. Hope and faith will surely give you a helping hand. // paul
