Maybe I should quit while I’m ahead
Not bother connecting with friends
Why put your heart out for more pain?
It is additional heartache, further strain
A bigger hole to fill the void when they go
I try not to let the desolateness show
Or be a constant thorn in anyone’s side
I try to give space and time
Yet when my lonely comes calling
It is difficult to hide the tidal wave of tears
Flowing from my eyes
I need to release the aching, the sorrows
Someone has to know
Oh, heart, you are weighed down
Despair toils within you
Lord, help me find sweet relief
A dear friend willing to listen
Even if you are the only one
I will accept it over the void Despair brings
Be with me ever and always to the end
My friend
