Say Hello To Loneliness

Say Hello To Loneliness

A Poem by Travis Prino

I'm fighting an endless battle

with the walls that surround me

I'm longing to find within myself

a single moment of clarity

I need an antidote to cure my pain

but I don't know if one exists

so I struggle with these demons

that continue to bind me to loneliness


and it feels like it's all in my head

and it feels like my world's caving in

and it feels like I'm my only friend

and it feels like I'm becoming me again


I feel all the pressures of the world

resting squarely on my shoulders

to be the man you have to beat the man

but I haven't been the same since I lost her

time spent searching on my own

has left me nothing but displaced

I throw away my everything

and end up face to face

with loneliness again


and it feels like it's all in my head

and it feels like my world's caving in

and it feels like I'm my only friend

and it feels like I'm becoming me again


I find sorrow comforting

cause misery loves company

and all the lies I've told myself

became another excuse to bleed

and when it all came crashing down

it took my breath away

but when you see me standing here

you'll be the one in disarray

as loneliness invites you in


and it feels like it's all in my head

and it feels like my world's caving in

and it feels like I'm my only friend

and it feels like I'm becoming me again


you thought I would crumble

when I stumbled and fell

but I can see through this dark

my heart is getting well

you thought I would crumble

when I stumbled and fell

but I can see through this dark

my heart is getting well

and I'll be better than before

so say hello to loneliness you w***e.

Just a little caveat to my writing, 95% of what I write are lyrics so excuse the length and repetition and don't be deterred by that. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment. more..
