Only the Lonely
Only the lonely can hear a heart beat Iin an empty room. Only the lonely look for a kindly light to pierce their darkest gloom. Only the lonely know the taste of tears as they reminisce without a friend. Only the lonely endure those silent days that never seem to end.
Only the lonely know that emptiness can fill a broken heart. Only the lonely never say goodbye for from whom shall they depart? Only the lonely speak with a silent voice of their heartaches and their fear only the lonely converse with immobile lips for who else is there to hear?
Only the lonely stare into the flickering flames with their thoughts of long ago. Only the lonely know of the daily pain that they must undergo. only the lonely dream of another's arms and the warmth of an embrace. Only the lonely pray for that welcome reprieve and the sight of a friendly face.
