Loneliness

Lonely is the long dark night
Where peace is nowhere in sight
A lonely tear runs down
As the moonlight reveals my frown
That lonely tear escapes
My lifetime of mistakes
On a lonely night like this
As a cloud obscures the moonlight
Peering through moonlit fog and mist
I long to see the hope of light
In the darkness of my loneliness
I long for the warmth of light
To end this dark lonely night
Lonely are footsteps of a departing friend
Lonely is solitude of nights that will not end
Lonely are the tears on a cold cheek
Lonely is silence of sorrows too deep to speak
As I look upon the dark lonely sky
It doesn't matter how hard I try
I just can't hide these lonely eyes
