Loneliness

It's different when you're lonely
And no one is around
There are people in the house
But no one makes a sound

It's different when you're lonely
When there is nothing to do
Because that is when your problems
All come back to you

It's different when you're lonely
The problems have you trapped
And they surround you and consume you
Until your mind is wrapped

It's different when you're lonely
The problems don't stop there
They make their way to your heart
Your emotions to tear

It's different when you're lonely
You want to cry out in pain
But you know that you can't wake them
So silent you remain

It's different when you're lonely
And sleep never comes
And you wait for day to break
Feeling cold and numb

It's different when you're lonely
The sun finally rises
And you hope the coming day
Won't hold any lonely surprises
