Loneliness is a silent guest
That comes and goes without a trace
It lingers in the empty nest
And haunts the solitary face
Loneliness is a bitter pain
That gnaws and aches within the heart
It makes the soul feel cold and vain
And cuts it from the world apart
Loneliness is a darkened room
That shuts the light and life away
It fills the mind with gloom and doom
And leaves no hope for another day
Loneliness is a heavy load
That weighs and drags the spirit down
It makes the road seem long and broad
And leads to nowhere but the ground
Loneliness is a cruel fate
That none should have to bear alone
It makes the world seem desolate
And turns the heart into a stone
