You never realize how alone you are,

until you're laying in bed

on the verge of some tears.

No one to ring on the phone;

no one to ring you back.

When all seven days of the week

are empty,

other than your daily routine

(which never changes.)

______________________

You never realize how lonely you are,

until you long to hear the voice

of another person:

A friendly stranger, perhaps.

Anyone will do.

_____________________

You never realize how lonely you are,

until your soul gets use to the feeling.

I don't want this, anymore.

The feeling aggravates me, so.
