Lonely

Explain the logic to me of life
Explain to me the theft of emotion
Explain to me why caring hearts are the first to fall

Lonely is the desperate night
Deserted is my troubled heart
I reach for acceptance, refused
People who claim they care, are generally liars

I reach forward looking
I stand above my target, lurking
A word of care is all I need
A simple gesture of love
