"Lonely Days"
When lonely days creep
upon silent nights
I sit alone and wonder why�
I cannot explain the emptiness inside,
The thrashing and turning of my inward sighs�
Longing for the days gone by,
waiting for those endless nights�
Hoping my fears away,
Praying for another day�
To begin with newness abound,
Trying to find answers unfound�
Keeping the memories
of days gone by,
Holding nothing but stillness around�
Rainy days and stormy nights,
I find myself with tearful eyes�
No one knows how the story goes,
Until they reach that golden year�
When kids are grown,
away on their own,
And nothing but walls to stare�
The neighbors are too busy
with their children too,
Leaving me with a friendly hello�
All in one glance,
perhaps I chance,
Seek friendship with the TV�
Until the night grows long,
I find myself alone,
Once more to sigh and weep�
