Alone

these words came to me to describe periods I've felt completely alone

Outside, it’s so cold, and I haven’t a place to call home.
So I reach for the phone — maybe I won’t feel so alone.
I thought, “Maybe someone will hear my preach,”
But there’s not a soul out there that I can reach.

So I must stay out here — it must be this way.
And for now, I’ll just smile...
And pretend I’m okay.
