Only the Lonely

I'm doing it again.
With a bag over my shoulder
And never looking back
I'm walking away from the life I knew

I'm feeling it again
the emptiness inside
the void in my soul that can only be helped
by the wall of ice I've built around myself

But this time I am crying
the tears are trailing down my face
I'm leaving of my own accord
Yet the lonely abyss is swallowing me

And this time My heart is breaking
As it never has before
The ice around me is melting
I've learned to love and its killing me

So let my tears run on your shoulder
For only love can heal me now
Let me wrap my arms around you
And hold you as I may never have the chance again

Only the lonely will understand
How I am dying in my shell
Withering away to nothing
With my heart held in my hand
