Loneliness

 
There’s a price
for every pleasure
Wish I could pay up
at my leisure
There’s relief
for every hunger
Except the yearning
to be younger

They say I shouldn’t dwell
on foregone conclusions
Then I couldn’t dwell at all

When I see
my brethren kneeling
I wonder what
they’re all concealing
I guess they're acting
on the same principle
That keeps
the Sufferer’s invisible

They say I shouldn’t dwell
on unlikely retributions
Then I couldn’t dwell at all

That’s when
Loneliness
is at it’s best

When I’m burning
like a fire
Or just sinking
in the mire
It’s all the same
I’m a shell washed on the beach
Put me to your ear
I’ll whisper echoes out of reach

They say I shouldn’t dwell
on cryptic absolutions
Then I couldn’t dwell at all

That’s when
Loneliness
is at it’s best
