Loneliness For Love

by WiLdCaT


_______________

                                           The loneliness is getting to me.
                                           I can't stand this, not having love by my side.
                                           Nobody can imagine the emptiness that sits inside of me.
                                           So many times I have reached my hand into the air
                                           in hopes that someone will take my hand and pull me to their chest.
                                           But all I can feel is the cold breeze of nothing across my fingertips.

As I pull my hand to my chest, empty, a hot tear rolls down my cheek.
                                           I look up and see couples with their arms around each other.
                                           Passionate hugs and kisses are exchanged,
                                           emotional words of love are whispered.
                                           I close my eyes and cross my arms across my chest.
                                           Slowly I turn away, hoping to hear my name called,
                                           no sound but my faint whimper is heard.
                                           I amble my way home and turn on the television
                                           in hopes to get lost love off my mind.
                                           Every channel is soaked with that word "LOVE".
                                           I lay in bed trying to sleep.
                                           Wishing I had somebody laying beside me.
                                           I turn over and wrap my arms around a stuffed bear.
                                           In my mind I say, "At least I have you to love",
                                           and cry myself to sleep.
