A shoulder to cry on


Hey Let's start a conversation here, again. Because I'm lonely and could really use a friend Someone that wouldn't mind if I sat there and whined Because god knows I could really use the time to break down and cry But I move on One foot forward Next step onward And I survive But to live just to live and lead an empty life How sad, so I suppose I fill it with strife And then I'm flusterred and alone and no-one's around to hear me groan And I just sit there, alone, thinking about my solitutde And I lie to myself Say it's what I've always wanted Say it's what I really need Some time away from the people in a life I do not live And time away from myself and away, just away And then what Pause for a moment please Take a breath for me, please Ever feel the wind beside you? The air fill you up and pour itself into you? Ever feel the suns rays dancing on your skin? Seen the glow of the moon and yearned for an escape Or is that just me being crazy again Chronic depression they call it Medications help calm it But how about an ear to talk to Someone who won't judge Just a simple conversation with anyone, a stranger Because I could really use the time to unwind and whine Because I feel lonely and alone And you can say it's the same, till you feel it The need to be with someone you can hold To take the sorrow and put it on hold But its fine, I don't mind, you don't ever even have to reply
