Letter From A Lonely Heart

I have always felt lonely, deep down inside,
I have always felt lonely- so I sit here and hide.
Inside of a shell that I just cannot crack,
Alone with thoughts that maim and attack.

I have always been lonely, ever since I was small,
Content to just curl up into a ball.
I have always been lonely, ever since I could feel,
Is there simply no way for me to heal?

I have always felt lonely, left out of your games,
Confined to my mind, confined to the pain.
I have always been lonely, no word of a lie,
What I crave is a friend who will not say goodbye.
