Only someone who knows
what true loneliness is
knows how I suffer.
The yearning that will not cease
the pain of a longing
that refuses to ease.
The ache of a burning need
the flurry of thoughts in array.
Yes only someone who knows
what true loneliness is
knows of this torment.
A burden carried alone
as many before have done.
To know the pain of the suffering
that cannot be overcome,
that cannot be explained;
so often misunderstood.
Only someone who knows
the true meaning of loneliness
will understand this suffering.
