When Loneliness Calls

When loneliness calls what do you do?
What do you say?
For all the lonely minutes
you have throughout the day.

Deep inside it is empty
hollow nothing is there.
As you see so many loving couples,
and think to yourself it just is not fair.

Your mind wonders to the past
things that used to be.
Loving days to lonely
you wonder about your future,
but scared to see.

Wanting so bad to love someone,
but a little insecure of it all.
You find yourself alone a little longer,
then you hear it coming
loneliness call.

How long will it be
before I get it all
so I do not have to answer
when loneliness calls?
