Loneliness surrounds me...
In the heat of the night
Heart pounding endlessly
Aware of the world
that towers over me
You're lost from my life
Where did it begin
What went wrong
When does the pain end
Soul screaming, aching
Burrowed so deep into darkness
Thriving to free itself
Tattle tales nightmares
You dance with another
Kissing, breathing, touching
You lie to save yourself
And I lock myself away
Loneliness is there to greet me
