When lonely has its way
You build yourself a dream
Paint your lonely characters
On brightly colored canvases
Then wonder through the show
The faces come and go
The ones you thought could hold your dreams
Get lost in fading candle glow
Everything must end
I'm trying to begin

You wonder through your room
Pretend a time or two
Embrace a careless photograph
That used to look a lot like you
Then morning has its way
Through everything that’s thin
You reach for one last song to sing
Try to put the pieces back again
Everything must end
I'm trying to begin

A broken song, its said
Is never really gone
It’s just a way of wishing that
The moments never right or wrong
But now it’s just a show
A melody that's thin
A bright remaining tapestry
Of all we've finally had to leave again
Everything must end
But I'm trying to begin

Music is the language God used to create the Universe

Nature has a funny way of breaking that which will not bend....Jewell

This poem reflects the lonliness I feel isolated 1200 miles from home after a good friend of mine died over the holidays and I wasn't able to go home for the funeral.  That and trying to go on with my life with out having any real closure.  Trying to keep up appearences with people who have no idea the pain and loss.  Every day is a struggle but I am trying to move on.
