Loneliness has found me
In the stillness of the night
I reach to touch your hand…
But your heart has taken flight.
This lonely place was once a home
So filled with love and joy,
But now it’s filled with emptiness,
and no way to fill this void.
For who am I to question love
or where a heart has gone…
The only thing that I have now
Is a love that lingers on.
