loneliness (Remove filter)
Face in the crowd
I pick your face out from the crowd
And you're all I can see
As we pretend to be strangers
I waited the one hour train journey
Hoping you would join me
But you never did
We remained separated by a single carriage
Little did I know you had far more in your arsenal to separate us
A Trident like deterrent
How did it come to this?
Well actually I do know the answer...

Stay home
I hear there's a festival outside,
Laughing, joking, jostling and frolicking,
But I'm OK, I'll stay inside.
I heard they've brought Freddie back live on stage,
To rock and roll, it's all the rage,
But I'm OK, I'll read about it sometime.
I hear world peace has broken out finally,
Dancing and singing wildly
But I'm OK, I'll Youtube it later
I hear it's that...

Single Father
Youthful days are fleet and fast, adulthood it beckons
Maturity in years it grows, quickly in few seconds
Visualise your wings unfold and soar careers path
In dreams I see your face so small and hear mischievous laugh
Companionship vacated, in emptiness to wallow
Loneliness unfolds, bitter is the pill to swallow
Sometimes I yearn to rewind the days, erase the sorrow's tide
For you to ...

My Love Is For Me, Not For You
Roses are red, violets are blue,
When I think of your love for me, I lose love for you.
What does my love feel like to me?
Being surrounded by beauty that only I can see.
Hidden behind my smile is someone fragile, flawed, and easily broken.
I showed you all of my healed scars and one by one you ripped them back open.
Again and again, my mind retreats to happier days while I ...

Alone
I wish it would have been a war
that was the explanation for
the reason you are not around,
the reason I don’t hear the sound
of your voice anymore.
No, I don’t hear it anymore.
And I wish it were all a dream
although a bad one it would seem,
cuz then at least I’d have the chance
to open up my eyes and glance
upon your face, but I don’t see it.
No, not anymo...

cobwebs
there’s cobwebs
on your side of the bed.
not the same bed,
across state lines
in a town by the coast
where no one knows our names.
I am afraid to disturb them,
to make a space as unfillable
as the miles between my window
and the haunting moon.
I am afraid most days,
as memory slides into silk shadows
lurking on the edges of rest
like cobwebs
on your side

Whispers of Loneliness
Wearing a smile, but it's just a show,
Loneliness whispers, won't let go.
In the crowd's noise, a silent plea,
Heartache murmurs, longing to be free.
Behind laughter's mask, a tale untold,
Loneliness unfolds, a story unfolds.
They feed on tears, a bitter taste,
In solitude's grasp, emotions embraced.
Moving with shadows, the soul steps back,
Loneliness stay...
