Weight of the Lonliness

I sit alone, the room is still, No laughs, no joy at all . The clock ticks loud, the night feels long, I hum a tune, a wordless song. I walk outside, the streets are bare, The stars above don’t seem to care. I wave at shadows, talk to air, But no one’s here, and no one’s there. The phone is quiet, the lights are dim, My world feels cold, my hopes feel thin. I miss a smile, a gentle touch, A little love, a little smile. But still I wait, through silent days, For someone’s voice to light my way. Until that time, I’ll breathe and cope, And hold on tight to dreams and hope.
