Forlorn

One can not fathom the emptiness I feel now.
The endless days pass by without meaning.
I smile and laugh and cry inside.
All the while I try to hide.
Sometimes I'm so scared to find
that I'll end up alone until
I become bitter and blind.
Blind to the beauty and purity in this life,
which would still surround me.
I still keep up hope even though
it often leads to despair.
How I long for love and a sweet embrace,
soft as the feathers touch.
If I could only rest my head and know
that I'm not alone on this world.
