WHY?                         

                             Lone heart filled with sadness,

                             Lost soul in despair,

                             Life’s a bleak existence,

                             For nobody is there.

                             Loud the sound of silence,

                             Company is rare,

                             Not a word is spoken,

                             To break the noiseless air.

                             Joy is brought by giving,

                             Loving is to care,

                             Both of these are lacking,

                             For no one wants to share.

                             Bright eyes filled with tear-drops,

                             At the ceiling stare,

                             Too much time to ponder,

                             Impossible to bear.

                             Dreaming may bring comfort,

                             Blissful, unaware,

                             Painful is the waking,

                             For no one’s really there.

                             Slowly hope is dying,

                             Heart in disrepair,

                             No one wants to know you,

                             No one seems to care.

                             Woe, despair and sadness,

                             Dreadful cross to bear,

                             To be so long alone,

                             Oh why is no one there?
