Mr Lonliness

written by: Tigressarah

Mr. Lonliness is eating at me,

He just won't seem to let me be.

Even in the middle of a crowd,

The silence in me sounds so loud.

No one who listens or even understands,

I feel I'm living in a strange distant land.

Sometimes I stumble, and sit down to cry,

But I refuse to just lay down and die.

I just know that out there, somewhere

Is a man,who,my burden will bear.

To love me just because I'm me,

Not what I look like or who I could be.

He will heat just from the touch of my hand,

And hold me close as we dance to the band.

His words and actions will speak the same,

He will be my lord,and I his dame.
