Trying To Fill the Lonely

Tremendously trying to fill the hollow void between us Radiant sun shimmers oh so shyly from on high Yet, the maroon moon is just a day away, so hush your fuss I remember crying tears of joy that I can't deny Nothing to worry about, but attempting to be happy in lonesome hours Gravity makes my carrion body fall in midair and I collapse like the twin towers Tortured to the core by solitude's hold on my high spirits of gold and silver Oh no, you don't understand half of what I've been through, but whatever Feeling my way out of darkness all over again Illuminated by icky igloo-icy isolation altogether as usual Loving the fact that I'm on my own, but not alone and then Lonely you and I get in touch with each other in a delightful duel Tell me that you care about me affectionately Hoping you'll see me through this tribulation Embarrassed to say that I've been there, done that - feels grand to be lonely... Lovely lament longingly hangs on to me still Overgrown by odium over and over again, just chill and don't be a pill No one notices that I'm a long-lost stranger of the deep Engrossed in quietude and I crawl in silence like a creep Lying about the truth won't get you anywhere in life, you know? You, dead silence, are alone, but not on your own and that is so
