Love and Loneliness
by:
Linda J. Hutchinson

What does
"true love”
really
mean?

Is it needing, touching,
is it felt or is it seen?

Could it be devotion or destiny
that touches the heart?

If "true"
it's a promise of always,
‘til death do us part.

Loneliness is empty arms that
close around no one,

Oh how you ache for
someone to hold.

Alone makes each
passing hour seem
endless.

It drains your
spirit, like
sleepless
nights and
winter cold.

Love is having someone to
laugh with,

Sometimes it's someone to hold
you when you cry,

It is the feeling of another
persons heartbeat,

This joined
happiness,
you never want
to die.

Loneliness hurts when
you are in bed alone,

If you have no
one near and
dear, you
wonder what
to do.

You desperately
need someone
to be with to
share your
dreams,

how you long to hear and say the
words, I love you.

True love is a special
feeling that warms your
heart and soul,

It's magic
and serenity
as one, no
one can
explain.

Loneliness is a sad heart
with a dead empty spot,

Love is a happy heart that's full,
when two people feel the same.
