'LONELY" BY NCUBE

So Sad

So down

So heartbroken 

So alone.

In a whiff things can change,

Friends leave,

lovers go and others depart the world 

but it can still never erase the mere fact 

that loneliness has found a home in you.

You over think

Isolate yourself 

Become a former shadow of what you used to be.

Memories flood in and you look at the videos and pictures made,

your heart smiles n tears glisten in your eyes.

Indeed everything was great and blissful once upon a time.

Picking up the phone and making that dreaded call becomes a chore,

perhaps they are busy l will call tomorrow.

What if that tomorrow never comes?

Would your loved ones ever know how much they meant to you 

and how much you miss 

and feel so alone without them.

Make amends,

create beautiful memories and 

tell those who matter how much they mean to you.

The silence is deafening and the emptiness in your heart and soul is proof of how much alone you are.

Loneliness is a disease but can be cured if you can always become the bigger person and make amends and mend broken bridges. Don't always hold on to the past or you will find yourself with so much regrets later on in life.
