I woke up before
the sun came up
and it was really early
because it was
only four thirty
in the morning
and the hours seem to
creep by ever so slowly
to leave me to ponder
and start thinking
about this life of mine
There are times like this morning
when I wake up
and I begin
feeling empty and alone
and I realize just how lonely life can be
I do have someone
who is really special to me
but most of the time
she is gone
because she works
many long hours in a day
and also on the weekends
So the two of us
really don't get to
spend that much time together
And its times like this
when I really do feel an emptiness
that takes over my soul
I think the hardest times
to go through
are the times when
I don't have anyone around
not even my friends
more or less someone that I can
talk to on the telephone
when I am all alone and all by myself
in a big empty room in my home
The silence takes over
and my thoughts begin to run wildly
and my heart begins to sink
because I really do feel
lonely most of the time
I woke up before
the sun came up
and it was really early
because it was
only four thirty
in the morning
and the hours seem to
creep by ever so slowly
to leave me to ponder
and start thinking
about this life of mine
