The lonely feelings...
The night air is crisp and cold...
and your not alone...
but you feel out of place...
even in your own home...
Your in a crowd...
lots of folk...
but even then...
you feel the choke...
The need to be alone...
is all you feel ...
to get in a room...
to close and seal...
To be alone..
is all I ask..
to sit there...
sometimes is the task...
To sit and think...
and not use my brain...
I need the quite...
to remain quite sane...
But then I need ...
the love of friends...
the companionship...
buds to the end...
We should love our time...
that we spend alone...
but don’t forget...
the light friends have shone....
