Shared Loneliness
written by: DedHedpoet

I tried to share my loneliness
Then found I cherished it
Becoming one of the needy
Like others, I do repel
In your unhappiness
Knowing I couldn’t help
With comfort or consolation
Denying yourself even that, tell
Just one lie, I might comfort in
Know my heart, scarred yet true
Believing solace would make us two
O’ you shared your loneliness
Then found you cherished it
But with my unhappiness
You were unable to even help.
