Lonely

Lonely is a solitary echo

Along an infinite corridor

Lonely is an empty space

Here in the centre of the heart of me

Lonely is a longing

Almost impossible to express in words

It is the silent chamber

In a deep deep well

Filled with so many past secrets

That loneliness wishes to tell

But lonely is also the way it feels

When I realise how far you are from me

And how good it felt to see the light

Within your eyes

Reflecting all the warmth

Your being emanates

Filling the empty space

All around you

Taking away

At least for a brief moment

My loneliness
