Lonely

Lonely doesn't sleep not even late in the night
Lonely doesn't talk but keeps you awake with the sound of quiet
Lonely is not my friend not my enemy
It's just a reminder I need some company

If lonely were a letter it would be addressed to me
And written between the lines so plain to see
This is just a reminder sent to you for free
Listen to the quiet and turn out the light it's a quarter after 3

I will put the letter under my pillow
Sure as a remedy and dream of weeping willows
Soon they will be blowing in the wind like a symphony
Lonely is not my friend said the weeping willow tree

That's me - up until 2 or 3 a.m. reading a book - trying to get sleepy. Hearing creaking noises in the night - tired in the morning - oh what a sight! lol There is being alone where no one is around. However, you can be lonely even in a crowd.

Thanks for sharing.

A brilliant poem I did I did nearly send you a letter but as someone pointed out poetry is not necessary about what was happening to the poet.
So I hope you are not lonely

Many of us will concur with this poem, you are not alone, it is the early hours in the morning when it is worse, things always seem better in the morning.
