A Poem For the Lonely
by Rachael Frye
I don't know why I even try
Every time we talk, I start to cry
Things will never be the same
While my heart screams your name
I'm not sure how to run away
All I know is I've got to get away
I keep trying but the hole burns through
My heart seems to still long for you
I reach my hands out, trying to make you stay
The more I wait for you, the farther you go away
Watching your every footstep
Not knowing why you left
The ringing in my ears is the sound of my heart breaking
Wanting you to turn around so much that it's aching
The stinging pain, the tears running down my face
Losing everything, my soul falling from saving grace
I sing out the song as my mind plays
Knowing I'll get better one of these days
But right now, this lonely is taking me over
Telling me I'll never find another.
Please, just come back for one more day?
Tell me why you refuse to stay?
You told me you loved me, was that a lie?
Are you just leaving me here to slowly die?
This is the feeling of my heart dying
Forget the love, forget the trying
It's done with the hurt, it's done with the pain
It's time to let my love wash away with the rain.
