Loneliness

The thundering clouds and moaning rain
Saddening my heart and deepening pain
The darkening night had shut me in
To seek a friendly soul in vain
Walking and talking with the walls
One might say that I was insane
Of such a biting loneliness
Throbbing heart suffered from the strain

My friendliness is on the wane
With people crowded in my lane
So often with some friend of mine
Somewhere else is my teeming brain
I ponder over my own plans
Of my own schemes I make a chain
Is it my absent-mindedness?
Or loneliness I entertain

When I am so lost in my thoughts
Any intruder I disdain
In slumber sweet I see my dreams
Those unto myself I retain
My aspirations and day dreams
Those unto myself I detain
Is it my sheer selfishness?
Or loneliness that I sustain

I lonely feel while I am sad
For something that I cannot gain
I lonely feel while I am mad
With depression I can't restrain
Sent to the earth I was alone
So loneliness is my fountain
And when I leave the earth alone
In loneliness I will remain
