Lonely Man

I search but cannot find

a hand to hold,

a heart that's mine.

Long, long night awaits...

my lover Loneliness-

she shares our

forlorn bed.

From the eaves shadows leer

I try but fail to shield

myself from the horde

and their dark sneer

Reality is dead...

the perfect drug not found

The lonely soul-

in chains, he must be bound

No voice to fill the empty air

No loving touch to bless the thin, dry hair

A silent scream explodes within...

Once I was the pampered child of Love

but now I've fallen...

vanquished...

A pauper...

in my foe's realm...

The Kingdom of Lonely Single Hearts.
