The Song of Loneliness

You find me waiting
At the end of your long day
Standing at your door

An unwelcome guest
That comes when you're  all alone
To entertain  you

You never like  me
I do not make you feel good
I tear at your heart

I don't  make  you  laugh
I never  make you happy
I only bring tears

To roll down your face
On your solitary  nights
When I'm too intense

Most people hate me
For my lingering  presence
In their lonely life

I am like a cloud
That hangs heavy in the air
Even on bright days

Some people  drown me
In bottles  of alcohol
So they can't  feel me

Others turn to drugs
To get rid of my presence
Just to feel happy

They don't  understand
My silent, gloomy  nature
Cos they evade me

They don't  want to know
The place where I have come from
Which is in their  minds

It's how you see  me
That will make all the difference
In your loneliness

You can ignore me
Only think of happy thoughts
That will make you smile
