| They say that loneliness eventually goes away- That it is never here to stay. They say that they understand me, what I’ve gone through; But I know that’s never true. They can’t understand because they’re not like me I’m different from anyone else, unique “It’s OK to cry” They don’t understand My tears can never be shed If I start, I may never cease Yet the pain in my heart continues to increase. I’ve been left by the one I love; Being with him again is all I can think of. Alone, with no one to care, Should I do the one thing I least dare; To let in one of these here Know of the true things my heart fears? If they know, I can never be hurt again Knowledge could easily turn this into the lion’s den Yet, if I don’t lift this veil- Let someone in and finally tell my tale, I won’t have somewhere to turn Someone to listen to me without spurn I’m terrified that I won’t find friendship around me- One person I can let hold my broken heart’s key. Will you be the one I can turn to? Will you help me see what I can do? This pain must end somewhere Open your heart and let that be here. One only has so many true friends I need you to be one and everything that lends One friend came out of the darkness, Helped me see above the mess; One loving hand Brought me onto solid land. Now, I live with a new hope; You have helped me cope. Your friendship showed me new life, You put an end to the inner strife. Stand by me, and I can overcome all; Together, there’s no way to fall. I’ll never leave you, I promise you this- We will live the rest of life with no loneliness. |
