Alone by myself
No one to talk to
Afraid of my surroundings
Alone by myself
In pain and fiery
I miss the happy days
Alone by myself
In my own little corner
Frightened of what will happen next
Alone by myself
I think about my life
And cry until no tears are left to cry
Alone by myself
But not really alone
Only in my heart forever more

Ashley Schultz

If you ever came to feel my pain
or drowned for a day in my lonely rain
you would know what its like to suffer in my hell
if you listened to the tales I have to tell
you would never again pass judgement on me
you may even understand why sometimes I flee
why I sometimes hide when the road gets rough
or run away when life gets tough
if you spent 60 seconds locked inside my head
you'd understand why life I dread
if you took a min to feel what I feel
you understand that my pain is so real
if you for once, choked on my tears
or had to fight through my fears
if you had to spend a day in my solitude
my nightmares you couldnt elude
the judgements you first passed would fade away
you would probably hit the ground and pray
to never again see the things that I've seen
to never experience the dreams that i dream

The tainted tears run down her cheeks
Mixing with the taste of his bitter kiss
She wraps her arms around her small cold body
Trying to fight off the piercing cold
And the painful loneliness
That grips her so tightly
When all she ever wanted was to be beautiful
All she ever wanted was to be loved
All she ever needed was to be wanted
And all she ever wanted is gone……..

Im a little oak tree in a lonely forest
I have a thick big trunk and many green leaves
I have brown acorns that cover my tiny branches
Although I have no feet to walk far away
I have a flock of friends around me
They are millipedes family who eat my fallen leaves
They are mice and squirrels who taste my delicious acorns
I even have wood lice who swallow my rotting wood
Birds nest on my branches and sing pleasant songs to me
Even the fox stays in my spacious hollow
My friends are back from different places every day
and tell me of lots of amazing things that I never could see
I even have friends who help me get rid of my waste
Im not lonely anymore, and you?
Do you have such good friends like them as I do?

Walking by a cardboard shelter,
you hear a quiet plea'
bothered and in a rush, you ignore him'
and continue walking.
He's homeless and continues searching the floor for scraps,
he's helpless and continues searching the sky for hopes.
Sure he might take your coins,
to buy drugs and alcohol,
.....but only if it numbs the pain
.....and if only for a second.
He didn't choose this life
Im sure you've made mistakes too,
But it's too late to change it now,
he's too far to go back anyhow.
While you worry about rush hour traffic,
he worries about surviving the night,
and while you cry over a spill on your new suit,
he cries when thinking about his family,
....his father who passed away
....his alcoholic mom who disowned him long ago.
His lonely eyes fill with tears,
as the heroin addiction takes hold once again.
One thing you both have in common,
you both have one life to live,
no where to turn
no way to go back
no one to love
nothing to hope for
.....One life.

To be less lonely
I came to sing my life for you
to be less lonely
and share the music between us
Our loves that blaze
Our reasons that tremble
Our destinies that are so alike
to be less lonely
When you left the door of your place
I was already lonely
The head full of our date
Our loves that blaze
Our reasons that tremble
All this that tonight we are alike
We are not lonely
Since we are together

Michel Berger

I say I will vagabond
but I am not used to the wandering life who knows
I say I will go far away
but I want to be back home who knows
Who knows behind silence there's a wound
Who knows behind indifference there's a weakness
I smile and say that Im not afraid of loneliness
but I hold back the tears who knows
How I wish that someone could light a lamp for me
warm the hole of loneliness in my heart
Are you lonesome
I think everyone is the same
However
we don't know since when this world became colder and colder
After being hurt again and again
you learn to hide
I learn to be silent
no longer willing to tell others our own stories
not willing to express warmth to others either
We would rather make ourselves lonely and make the others lonesome too
However
actually, lonely human beings must keep each other warm
No one is absolutely strong
At the bottom of our heart
we all have weaknesses, empty places
Maybe in the rainy evening
maybe on the street at dusk
it becomes a wound without a reason
Don't say you aren't afraid of loneliness
don't pretend to be indifferent any more
because everyone has loneliness
every one has loneliness

Guizhu Cheng

Why are you always looking at me
You are lonely
You are not so beautiful as the swan star
You don't have so many sisters
from your naissance
It's not your fault
However, Im guilty
I left many people
Maybe they left me
I don't have a smiling flower
I don't have the habit of sending smiling faces
I am often silent in front of the sages
The silence is like a cloud at dusk
I don't know
I don't know what you want
really
The albizzia tree covered a little half of sky
Guess
there are still many nights
"I need you not to be lonely anymore"
