Lonely

Lonely is the Love

That has nobody to hold.

Lonely is the heart without a good night hug.

Lonely is the smile without a kiss to follow.

Lonely are the eyes without a star there is no sparkle.

Lonely is the love for without a partner there is no laughter.

The harp that no longer plays, a melody that fades.

The colors that slowly turn gray.

The touch of a warm hand and the hair that it caresses.

Loneliness, the inside cries of a child and the parents that have never seen it.
