Lonliness

Feeling the pain of lonliness,
Yet, you're still right here,
But it will only get worse when I'm gone,
That's my biggest fear.

It has already caused me to cry,
Tears of overwhelming sadness,
And made me swim in confusion,
As my mind works on madness.

So what will I ever do,
All those weeks when I'm away?
As this neverending grief,
Seems to grow worse every day.

I guess I just will not fight back,
And hopefully it will grow numb,
Or wait in silent solitude,
As to this torment I succumb.

Or maybe sit back and I'l wait,
As the pain of love drags me down,
Into this sea of lonliness,
In which I know I will drown.
