A Lonely Day

 

Loneliness is an emptiness
Sharp needles piercing the soul
Longing for something out of reach
Aching for the once known

 

I find myself longing
For the innocence of youth
Friends who had not yet betrayed
Still so innocent of truth

 

I long for one to speak to me
Who understands my soul
To reach inside and hold my heart
And leave it well and whole

 

Trust is now an empty thing
A puzzle none can solve
I ache with a loneliness
Only touching souls can resolve
