I often feel that empty hole,
That saps the spirit from your soul.
The feeling deep inside your gut,
that makes you feel the world close shut.

You feel like you're the only one,
you do your best to have some fun.
Yet even though you do your best,
nothing cures your loneliness.

You look around and see the rest,
those people seem to have that zest.
The zest you get from having fun,
and being right there with someone.

You try and try to find a soul
who helps you fill that empty hole.
Yet everytime you search for one,
you end up all alone, with none.

I wish I knew just how to be,
and not need anyone with me.
Yet even when I'm feeling fine,
it sneaks up on me from behind.

Sometimes you find someone who cares,
but those are times that seem so rare.
Yet still you wonder if it's real.
Do they know just how you feel?

I talk to people every day,
distract myself in many ways.
But when I finally go home,
I realize that I'm all alone.
