Loneliness Lies Sleeping

Loneliness Lies Sleeping

I sometimes wonder why

I write such sorrow

Dark thoughts from the deep

Emptied loneliness making me cry

Yesterdays, todays, a feared tomorrow

Emptying words of sadness that make me weep

I am bound to keep you till I die

Every passing day I plough an empty furrow

Greedily devouring, every word to keep

‘Dear Diary’…that makes me shudder

You never been my guide

Just empty pages all set to go

Keeping every word I utter

I come to you to try and hide

Each page cries inky tears of woe

Shredded sheets cry from the gutter

Still I write, and in you confide.

I don’t know why these words I’m keeping

Loneliness lies sleeping
