The Girl They Call "Lonely"

Sitting in a crowded room

One person is surrounded

Surrounded by many people

Who love and care for her

But she doesn’t feel right inside

She feels like something’s missing

She feels alone

You can see it in her eyes

That she feels like there’s a hole

A hole in the center of her heart

She needs a person

To help mend her broken heart

A person to fulfill her needs

A person to stand up for her

When the whole world doesn’t

A person to laugh with

A person to talk with

A person to keep her

From crying until she falls asleep

A person to keep her

From doing the unthinkable

Just someone to be there

Through thick and thin

Someone that would

Never, ever, ever leave her side

Someone that can keep her

Keep her from being

The girl they call “Lonely”
