Lonely One

In the shadows, I tread alone,
Not anyone's type, a heart of stone,
Sleeping in solitude, a barren bed,
Dreams untouched, my soul is thread.

Eating alone, the table set for one,
A feast of loneliness, it's never done,
Drinking my sorrows, the glass my mate,
A solitary toast to this lonely state.

The weight of sadness, an endless load,
Invisible to others, my story untold,
In this vast world, I feel unseen,
Like a forgotten whisper in the in-between.

I wish for a touch, a connection so true,
To be valued, cherished, just like you,
But the darkness lingers, the pain persists,
No one to hold, my heartache persists.

The thought of fading, of being done,
A tempting relief, from battles I've shunned,
But deep down, a flicker remains,
A fight for tomorrow, to break these chains.

I'll search for a glimmer, a new way to be,
A chance to belong, to set my soul free,
I'll face the abyss, with courage anew,
For within my own heart, lies a love that's true.
