Loneliness

What is this loneliness so strange
That comes upon me
Why is this feeling so unknow
Tugging at my heart

Friends surround me
Family are here
Christians ever near
Why then this loneliness so strange

Returning to haunt me
This unknown feeling ever so present
Still tugging my substance
Communication is loud

Life always busy
Entertainment never lacking
Loneliness what then is your game
Why are you always here

I listen and then I hear
In the stillness of the moment
A whisper not audible
It’s me my child
