There is no loneliness as that of the mind
In the midst of a crowd there is no one you will find.
The walls that surround you are insurmountable and thick
You worry about making a connection until you are sick.
The touch of a hand at that crucial time
Can break through the walls and free your mind.
A friend will reach out a saving hand
To retrieve you from that wasteland.
Their selfless act, given without thought or intent,
May save a lost soul that is hell-bent.
Reaching out to your lost mind,
They pull you from the depths of dispair in the nick of time.
Touch a friend, give them a hug
Or you may find you have helped them with the grave they have dug.
Being alone is not loneliness
Having no hope or one to share it with, is.
