# 54 "Lonely Hearts."

Lonely Hearts.


What excuse will I use today?
Fear of pain I will replay.
Perhaps just another cliché.
I’m very good at this wordplay.
Can my heart alone convey?
What feelings do I portray?
Lust in words of foreplay.
Is instinct a desire to obey.
Will ache of rejection be ok?
Can I handle that today.
Will I know, but fear to say.
Will I continue to hide this way.
Is this the life for me to stay.
Thoughts of you that I downplay.
Another chance that fades away.
Loneliness now is my dismay.
