Loneliness sits beside me, a shadow that won’t let go. It follows me into daylight, like it’s something I should know. I try to hide the trembling, the ache I never show but silence keeps on asking why my heart feels low. Some nights I reach for comfort, for someone’s voice, a glow but all I hear is quiet, and quiet hurts the most. I wrap my arms around me, pretend I’m not alone But wishing for a heartbeat that won’t bring another home. Still, deep inside the darkness a tiny hope will grow that even in the emptiness, I’ll find my way back slow. And when the night feels endless, when tears begin to flow… I’ll remember lonely seasons don’t last they only snow.
