Loneliness haunts my reverie and
shocks my soul, day and night it
tightens its hold.
Tangled in this never ending web,
I wonder if this loneliness will ever ebb.
I wonder if this sadness will fade away
with the colorful flowers of early May.
I wonder if I'll ever see another
warm summer day and hear the
laughter of young children at play.
I wonder how many others suffer this way
with loneliness from each breath of every
night and day.
I wonder if this dreaded loneliness is here to stay,
or will it on some sunny day just fade away.
I wonder if this frown will ever turn upside down.
