Lonely is a word,
Just a word,
It symbolises abandonment to be alone,
Just a word,
You feel scared, and tired and alone,
Just a word,
Without emotion, without pain,
Unable to feel,
Just a word,
Without a shoulder to cry on,
Without arms to encircle you, to make you feel safe,
Without eyes to capture your beauty,
Without a hand to hold in yours,
Without a heart to love you,
Lonely is a word, just a word,
But to be lonely is something else,
Something else entirely.
