Loneliness

I hear the train roar outside

Such a solitary thing.

I thought with freedom I could fly

Now I flap my broken wing.

My dream in life used to be

One of me alone.

No one there to bind me down

Where my wild seeds were sown.

I thought that I would be content

Just to live beneath the stars.

Now I sit alone in these four walls

And listen to the cars.

The life I dreamed up clearly changed

Since I first saw your eyes.

My sense of love has grown too deep

Since I first heard your cries.

My heart, it aches to be with you

As I lay here without your touch.

The night outside seems ominous

And the silence is too much.
