Those you most love

Be ready to be disappointed

By those you most love

They truly do love you too

But the inner loneliness

They help you to escape from

Will one day hit hard

Resist the temptation

To blame them

Remember instead the times you too were gone

Look your loneliness in the face

Don't smile or be nice

But do welcome it into your innermost space

And if it keeps you awake

At four o'clock in the morning

So let it be

If you sit with loneliness long enough

You discover a new dawn
