+2I feel like a caged bird waiting to be freed
Living in a world where people are not what they seem
Not knowing not caring what to do anymore just lonely
And all that I have is a book in my hand
Nothing else I hold so dear
Just wishing you would be near
If only for a little bit only for a while
Then what you might see is my smile.

+37My mind is lost and my heart is all alone,
Tears fill in my eyes and so my soul mourns.
Like the wind that blows, the dunes of sand,
Get my love, to hold my hand.
My heart feels alone in the sea of heads,
Without love a throne of roses seems a thorny bed.
Her voice rings in my head, to show me way to peace,
But she seems somewhere locked and I’ve got to find the keys.
Without her presence, I feel broken and down,
And my home looks deserted without her sound.
Close to my heart but far away from my mind,
For sure, my girl, you are one of your kind.
My years are gone and my days are few,
Completely lost and lonely in a life without you.

+14Life without you, oh my dear,
Is a long punishment, severe.
With moist eyes and a broken heart,
Every passing moment pricks me like a dart.
Remember those days under the sun,
Life was just joy and fun.
Now that very far away you’ve gone,
Leaving me behind just alone.
Please come back I beg of you,
We’ll start our lives fresh and new.
With as much love as the ocean’s depth,
And continue our story from where we left.
So please come back as the morning dew,
As nothing is left for me in a life without you.

+8When I am feeling lonely, I
Feel thrown away
Locked in a damp, cold dark closet,
I see all gray
Now… I can’t get out
Shot down by others
Pushed way off the earth
Scared, little bitty, standing in your hand
Looked down on
Scales, what does it weigh?
If only I can run fast and far away
You shot me once more,
But this time it’s deep in my chest
A needle, feed me
I think I need more
All I see is lost hope
A deep hole with red dirt
My vain is full
Fix it fix it
I need to get back
I think I am stuck
Its such a lonely lonely day
The trains, they roar
This tunnel is getting longer
I see no light
The walls are melting Life, love
My head is spinning like a crazy top
Make it stop
Understanding no more
Gun? Will they come and save me
It won’t hurt
………….Silence that’s all
Big bang
One red puddle is all that’s left this lonely day.

+11I miss the times when we spent so many days together,
The butterflies I would get in my stomach when we saw each other,
Before I even knew it I was in love with you,
Thought it was the best feeling too,
I miss the times we had,
I’m sitting here feeling so sad,
I just feel so lonely,
Love hurts if I’d known if only . .

+24A lonely heart…
When I lost my hope,
When I missed all my happiness,
When I crumbled like a rotten wood,
When gasped in the deep depth of an ocean,
When I felt my life’s almost over,
When departures knocked me down,
When failures crushed me down,
When miseries flowed like a river,
When others pierced me with poisoned arrow,
when my heart failed to hold my grieves,
I heard a voice saying ‘I’m with you’,
Yes!!!The almighty strengthened me
Else, I would’ve disappeared away,
Lying in the deep depths of the earth,
and my soul wandering somewhere!!!

+19I lay in this bed
Unable to sleep
Lonely thoughts and memories
Slowly my eyes begin to weep
I think about how I got here
It’s a night that I regret
I toss and turn for hours
Leaving my sheets damp from cold sweat
And I can hear all your warnings
Its an echo inside my mind
If only I could flip over the hourglass
And turn back the hands of time
I wouldn’t be in this position
Never would have crossed that line
Instead I’d be with you….
Sipping on our life slowly
Like everyday was the finest of wine
I’d hold precious moments
Live each day like its our last
But instead I’m laying in this bed….
Thinking about memories that have passed.
