Lonely

I'm lonely, don't leave
Please stay with me
I'm lost in the sound
Of thoughts spinning 'round
Please, I just want you to find me

I'm lonely, I'm scared
And so unprepared
For such a deep quiet
Such colorless silence
That comes when nobody's there

I'm lonely, you're gone
It feels really wrong
One by one, the tears fall
No resistance at all
In my head plays a quiet, sad song

I'm lonely, alone
And when all's said and done
I've confirmed my worst fear
You're still gone, still not here
I stumble, get up, start to run

I'm lonely, I hurt
Dirty pants, bloody shirt
I slipped and I fell
Didn't catch myself well
Now I'm covered in blood, and in dirt

I'm lonely, who's there?
As if answering a prayer
Through the rain in dim light
Was a welcoming sight
It was you who I saw standing there

I'm lonely, you're here
Now there's nothing to fear
In the dark of the night
You're a comforting light
Please promise you won't disappear

I'm lonely, hold me tight
In the glow of firelight
The night is deep
Can I fall asleep
In your arms for the rest of the night?
