“She never knew me”

  

She never knew me.

I was a person few people knew.

She never really knew me.

She never could really see.

  

Nobody could see,

They may have known,

But there’s no way,

No way they could see.

  

It was so empty,

So very quiet.

No one wanted to hear or talk.

To break the silence.

  

She never knew me.

I was a person few people knew.

She never really knew me.

She never could really see.

The Lonely

“The Lonely”

Was I nine?

Or all of ten?

When I learned of The lonely.

I knew about it way back then.

  

The lonely,

I don’t think I’d wish that on anyone.

Even after all the hate filled words,

Have been poured out against everyone.

     

The lonely,

We all get lost, 

I could wish that hurt for you,

But weren’t we star crossed?

    

The lonely,

I guess we all have it,

We are all exposed.

I just never had,

Immunity to what I chose.

   

So my soul withers.

I never understood the choice.

I know you said you would be here always.

Even though I heard, it must not have been your voice.

   

And I am getting by.

I can manage myself from day to day.

I just have to remind myself.

That no one means, they never believe,

Any of what they say.
