What is Loneliness?

sonicpoet



What is loneliness?

when no one really cares,

and no one is really there

you cry and hug yourself

since there's nobody else.

What is loneliness?

when everyone is gone

and nights are really long

you hurt right until dawn.

What is loneliness?

when you are looking in

where no one else has been

and that's inside your head

while inside you are dead.

What is loneliness?

when no one is around,

you're standing on the ground

while always feeling down.

        Poignant and soulful expressing the solitary feel very well and lyrical. Loneliness it's a very poetic topic and quite common so a lot of people can relate to this. Kudos for the rhyme scheme and meter.

        Great to read from u again.
