Lonely, lonely me

I cannot believe this is me sitting all alone with no one to talk to. My friends have all gone. The quarters where I stay is as silence as the grave, my place of work is cold. What a life. Every day I walk the lonely path and cross the quiet road to work- the once lively road I used to know has suddenly become strange to me.  All the shops under locks and keys and everybody behind closed doors for the fear of the unknown.

My heart bleeds ‘cos the people I used to know have all gone. As I stare at my friend’s house, uncontrollable tears roll down my cheek. This is where i used spend the better part of the evening sharing the bible, watching tv, gisting and eating together.

Now I spend hours at my window staring into space. This is what loneliness has done to me. Eating has become a task for me as I can no longer eat alone. I am beginning to lose weight all to loneliness. I try to read but cannot concentrate because I am lonely. 

Even the church has been deserted. Service was cold. The beautiful and lively faces have all gone. God, what a life! Heaven I need a hug right now. Oh lord, fill this void and emptiness shine your light on my darkness.

Lonely, lonely, all by myself. All alone in my tiny world. I’ll just close my eyes and drift away from this lonely place.
