When I speak to you I sense the deepest void of loneliness
I know that the things I may say
It’s good to do
May never ever touch or fill the place in you
Where so much pain must live
And even though you hurt me
At times I hurt for what you went through too
Much as I say I can
At times its hard to shut off the grief that rises
As I hear the echoes of all you could not
Say
Rolling through my being like waves
And then I know that we both suffered the same
As many as are the barriers I use
To keep my heart safe
Then my body goes haywire
Hard to explain
This endless refrain of loneliness
That replays
I know it too
It comes and goes
Of course we came into this world alone
Or did we
Were our parents really there to welcome us
And give us all that we needed?
So much that goes unsaid
But lives on in us instead
Hardwired into our neuro-biology
And so it is I weep
Each time
We say goodbye
For I cannot lie
My heart will never ever be cold to you
That much is true
I do
I really and honestly
Do care about
And
Feel for you
