Love and Loneliness



Love and Loneliness

(A poem with borrowed lines)


Being in love gives us such elation,
Like walking on clouds, an amazing sensation.
Come live with me, and be my love,  *
Our love will be perfect, something my life has been void of.
We'll never, ever want to part,
Don't worry, you'll always be in my heart.

Now loneliness is a whole other story.
It fills us with despair, and also with worry.
There's a need to escape, with no other choice, 
No one to hear the sound of my voice. **
So next time you're lonely, or even just scared,
Come and find me, for you I'll be there.

* Line borrowed from "Love Under the Republicans (or Democrats) by Ogden Nash.
