Alone

A famous song once spoke of despair,

Of having it all, yet no one to care.

A mirror reflects a fractured view,

A world so vast, yet missing the true.

Loneliness shifts with how you feel,

Is love the answer, the ultimate seal?

And even then, would it heal the ache,

Or leave a heart to quietly break?

I may seem to hold the world in hand,

Yet my heart drifts, like castles in sand.

So lonely, life's a restless sea,

Without love, there's no way to be.

Oh, I swear, the days feel hollow,

A fleeting shadow, too dark to follow.

No one truly knows my pain,

No voice to share, no hand to sustain.

Some truths are meant for hearts that bind,

For souls who see and love in kind.

Oh, how I long for someone to know,

The real, unguarded self I show.

To see beyond the flaws and fears,

And hold me close through fleeting years.

A quiet heart, with love so pure,

A steady bond that will endure.

I may seem to hold the world in hand,

Yet my heart drifts, like castles in sand.

So lonely, life's a restless sea,

Without love, there's no way to be.

Oh, I swear, the days feel hollow,

A fleeting shadow, too dark to follow.

... Notes that echo through the night ...

... Melodies weaving a fragile light ...
