In the silence of my room, I hear
The whispers of a solitary fear
A longing for connection, for a gentle touch
A heart that beats alone, with no loving clutch

The city outside, a crowded space
Yet in the midst, I find a lonely face
A sea of strangers, passing by
No one to share the laughter, or the tears to dry

The nights are longest, when darkness falls
And shadows dance, upon the empty walls
The weight of solitude, a heavy heart
A yearning for companionship, a work of art

The world outside, a couples' delight
A parade of love, a showcase of light
While I, in solitude, search for my place
A sense of belonging, a warm and loving space

But still I hold on, to hope's thin thread
And weave a tapestry, of courage in my head
For in the struggles, of being alone
Lies a strength, that's yet to be known.
