I was hoping for a shoulder 
But am drinking my tears all alone
My thoughts kept me in vain
My trust was all it held.
With a few leaving me, 
I won’t be stranded, I felt
But, alas! Here I am, all alone.
The long conversation no more
Words have died in my throat.
I remember someone saying, 
“You talk a lot”, I want to ask,
Why does it then feel suffocating?
My words can’t find a face to trust 
Alas! I am left all alone.
There was once a someone 
Who would ease my pain
But now is a star, and hence,
I feel all alone.
The pain is too much to hold, 
Though the tears have dried up.
Maybe a day would come when
My words would find some solace
And I won’t feel lonely afterall.
