The Loneliness Of Longing

By Syed Mohammad Ismail Quli

In the quiet of the night,

When darkness reigns and stars shine bright,

I sit alone with a heart contrite,

Longing for you, my love, with all my might.

But you're gone, and I'm left here,

Lost in a world of pain and fear,

Aching for you to draw near,

To chase away this constant tear.

The loneliness is suffocating,

A void within that's never abating,

A heart that's shattered and deflating,

As I try to keep my sanity from fading.

Oh, how I miss you, my love,

Like a bird yearning for the sky above,

Aching for you, like a hand in a glove,

Lost without you, in this world so tough.

The emptiness of your absence,

A weight that's heavy and immense,

A love that's gone, and left no pretence,

As I search for solace, in your recompense.

But you're gone, and I'm left here,

Lost in a world of pain and fear,

Aching for you to draw near,

To chase away this constant tear.
