Aching for Connection

In the depths of solitude, I stand alone,
Loneliness engulfs me, a pain I've never known.
I wander through the streets, seeking solace in vain,
But empty faces greet me, no one to share my pain.

I scroll through my phone book, desperate for a name to call,
But silence echoes back, no one to answer my fall.
My mind wanders, yearning for someone to confide,
But empty echoes haunt me, no one by my side.

I search for comfort, a balm for my weary soul,
But darkness lingers, uncertainty takes its toll.
No one to ease the anguish, the torment deep within,
I'm trapped in this desolation, where hope wears thin.

The pain and uncertainty consume my heart and mind,
In this agonizing realm, solace I cannot find.
Alone I remain, in this vast and empty space,
Where despair reigns supreme, and tears stain my face.
