Lonely

I wonder where you are tonight?
What your thoughts are?
What your needs are?
What you feel inside
        but learned so long ago
    to keep hidden deep within?

I wonder if all the tears you shed
    have your feelings locked inside them,
    and if those tears washed away your pain
    when sadness filled the empty space
    your tears left inside you?

I wonder why you try so hard
    to believe that nothing matters –
    why you let no one beside you
    to wipe away the tears you shed?

I wonder why I can’t be with you
    to comfort you though the lonely days –
    to comfort you through the lonely nights?
    But only my thoughts can be beside you –
    and since I cannot wipe away your tears
    I too shall shed tears for being lonely –
        it is this lonely night we share.
