In the silence of the night, loneliness creeps in,
A shadow that haunts me, while the world asleep.
It lingers in corners of my heart, in the depths of the soul,
A relentless companion, taking its toll.
It speaks in echoes, in the empty spaces of souls,
Filling the void with its chilling words and embraces.
Alone in a crowd, amidst laughter and cheer,
Loneliness whispers, "You're not welcome here."
It paints the world in shades of grey,
Yet in the midst of my despair and lost ,
There's a glimmer of hope, a flicker of light.
For in my heart's darkest hour, I find,
The strength to endure, the will to bind.
And though loneliness may linger, won't cease,
In connection and love, I find my peace.
