Loneliness!

Far away from
people I love…
who make my world shine!!
Lost and lonely
I stand ..
no one to call mine!

Caught in between…
devil and the
deep sea!
Aloof and
indifferent people
surrounding me!

My desperate tears
fill my eyes...
I have no shoulder to cry on!
I shiver
as I realise...
I have no one!!

Neither love nor support
and there is no one
by my side!
Be it pain or tears...
hurt or whatever
I have to take all in my stride!

My heart gives up..
as there is no response
to my desperate shout!
I have no way out…
other than the silence now
that kills me.. day in and out!!

I scream aloud
in vain...
to kill the silence
around me!!
