solitudine

i am the loneliness falling on side streets
the one you pick up on long walks home
i keep you company and walk with you
when noone else will or wanted to

i hold your hand and let your tired soul
rest itself by my equally lonesome side
as we find comfort from the dying sun
and wait for the restless shining stars

i am the loneliness falling on soiled sheets
the one you tuck away under your bed
i dry your tears every single night and day
and hum sweet lullabyes while you sleep

i am the loneliness who lets you go
out into the vast cruel world alone
to meet that other lonely soul waiting
for you to make them whole once more
