To be alone
And to be lonely
Ain't the same . . .
No

A lonely mind
Takes notice of its loneliness and weeps
But if the mind is merely alone
It has a peaceful soul

Lonely hears only the bells
Chime for "them"
And the Heaven is bleak and gray
The Brutal Sky rains down hurt

Like an approaching tide
Drinking greedily from a lonely mind
Not sated until nothing is left
