In empty spaces, I wonder alone As I search for connection on unfamiliar grounds A shadow of myself, a deafening silence I yearn for warmth, for love's soft touch But like a ghost, I am invisible, too much I crave the comfort of a gentle hand But like a mirage, it vanishes, so deep into the sand In crowded rooms I feel almost alone A stranger in the midst of the crowd Sinking deep into loneliness; forlorn I may be lonely but I'll search far and wide for love's warmth touch Where love and laughter will chase the night And find the warmth and solace in human light I'll find my way into the paths of a brighter day Until the better days, I'll hold on to hope A glimmer of hope in the darkened scope I'll find a way to keep my heart beating And find true connection
