Loneliness

Surrounded by a crowd
loneliness can be found
pulled apart and left to pieces
a rag doll cast aside and left in shreds
after the fun is had
loneliness begs the company
of the white ghost
on the winter steed
The handsome figure
away from here he'll lead
loneliness
to a crystal river
on a distant shore
to be at peace
forever more
Lost in the safety of his embrace
Without thought to time and space
she weeps
she sleeps
wrapped in his strength
and the warmth of his light
cradled through the night
renewed by his fire
filled with his desire
energized by courage and life
Again she will return
to the here and now
to await the turmoil of confusion
brought on by the loss of delusion
and the cold hard crack of reality
broad sides her face
in punishment and disgrace
Over and over
loneliness takes her beating
still believing
in the white ghost
on the white steed
filling the void
when she is in need
