Peering out the window on a moonless night
the rains washing down as the lightening strikes
 Thunders endless roll echoes through my soul
hollow is the sound tho my heart does pound
 Never quite the handosme guy, always ridiculed often shy
Forever reaching out, filled with self doubt
 Always the aching need, a love like no other
awaits to be freed
 The look of lovers, their gaze for no other
soft touch, spoken word yet for me
never felt, never heard.
 Conversations surrounding
no words meant for my ears
so alone I sit at night and think through my tears
 The shatter of dreams, hearts wretched cry
surrounded yet alone frustration raining from my eyes
 Thoughtless words, careless acts
always rumour, brought to light as fact
Words dancing on strings, painfull melody that it brings
fills the void, empty hole but never the yearning
of the soul...
