Only the Lonely

Only the lonely 
know how I feel,
stood where I stand,
feel what I've felt

Only the lonely
wept tears such as mine,
erupting from deep within,
fiercely, forcefully, violently 

Only the lonely 
know how I feel,
empty of hand
empty of heart

Loneliness, lonely, alone,
Singularly, solitary, 
in my solitude.
