Have your ever been so lonely

That whatever you speak

Just echoes around

Refusing to fade

And go away

Have you ever been so lonely

That winds and rains

Keep avoiding you

Not one drop landing

On your outstretched arms

Have you ever been so lonely

That the only thing

That follows you

Is the blame for all

For what you did

Or did not

Have you ever been so lonely

That life moves around

Minding its own

Oblivious if you

Exist at all

Have you ever been so lonely

That you can’t cry

Nor laugh with joy

An empty void

Filling your life
