From The Heart Of A Lonely Soul

This is a poem I had written in 2005, that brought tears to a "man's" eyes.

FROM THE HEART OF A LONELY SOUL
          Written By ( ZIP ) RJL



FROM THE HEART OF A LONELY SOUL
FOREVER'S TOUCHED HIS MIND

TO MEET THE ONE HE HAS YET TO KNOW
SEEMS SO VERY HARD TO FIND

THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES, ALONG THE WAY
WHEN HE CHOSE A DIFFERENT ROAD

SO THE PATH GOT LONGER, EVERY DAY
HE SEES HOW QUICKLY, TIME REALLY SHOWS

HOW CAN HE FIND, THIS ONE WHO LOVES ?
OR, HAS LOVE BECOME A LIE

LOCKED, DEEP WITHIN OUR HEARTS
SLOWLY FORCING OUR SOUL TO DIE

TO CRAVE, WHAT HE MAY NOT RECEIVE
AND STAND WATCH, WHILE OTHERS DO

TO PRAY, WHILE DOWN UPON HIS KNEES
AND KNOW HIS HEART IS TRUE

SECURE HIS NEED, WITHIN HIS EYES
THROUGH PAIN, STILL TRIES TO SMILE

FOR ONLY GOD, CAN HEAR HIS CRY
AND SAVE HIS LONELY CHILD

WHY MUST HE WALK THIS PATH ALONE
AND THINK IT HAS NO END

AND FEEL INSIDE HE'S DONE NO WRONG
HE CRAVES A HEART TO WIN

WITH EACH AND EVERY BREATH HE TAKES
HE TRIES HARD TO BE STRONG

HE HIDES HIS HEART, EACH TIME IT BREAKS
AND SHARES HIS PAIN IN SONG
