When I feel lonely
Which I almost always do
I spend time writing
There's nothing exciting
Thoughts are frightening
Insights are enlightening
To hide or reveal
To donate or steal
To show what I am made of
or be labelled as love
How else could I explain
perceptions of my brainWhen I feel lonely
Which I almost always do
I stop what I am doing
And I think of you
I think what you'd be doing
I wish that I were with you.
Doing what you're doing
Right next to you.
It may seem clingy
May even sound cute
I don't want to presume
I don't want to be rude
When I feel lonely
Which I almost always do
I do what you were doing
As if it were best to continue
I believe my forthcoming
I respect all that it stands for
I take it as my warning
to make something you adore
I hope my flattery works
for my shortcomings
There is nothing worse
than facing my delusions
When I feel lonely
Which I almost always do
I look around for some fun
not meant for everyone
The task once begun
Something to be done
Counting tragedies
Zero apologies
Look around to find none
Returning to base one
What needs to be done
to its completion
