Where is the love?
The tenderness of the heart where people join together.
Arms all around and hands held.
I miss the feeling of it
And where has it gone?
The place where I'm in, is all but hate and despair
Surrounded by thousands of helpless ones, anguish and silence
Dark and dull atmosphere
I cannot find the light
No friends
No family
To lead me to it.
How blind and useless I am
I am all but an individual that is
Lost
Bewildered
Loveless
Desperate
Disconsolate and shamed
Am I the only one feeling this way?
The world is all but a big question
And how am I stuck here with no room to think
I am in need of something
Something that may be impossible to grasp
But depravity fogs my sight
Sorrow is what leaves my thoughts in a puzzle
So when will my torment truly end?
Maybe, a door will open someday.
To guide me through the dark
And rid me of this evil that constricts me for all this hate in humanity.
I want to return to the soothe feeling of warmth
That comes from the heart that never burns out.
I will keep it burning as long as I search for that key
To reach that tiny glimpse of light
The light where I find love.
