Lonely in a Crowded Room
Everyone is
alone here
Everyone is
looking for someone
That will
look at them tonight
Even if it's
only a dazed glaze
After having
a bit too much
They’ll
accept the intoxicated breath
Just to be
touched
We all want
to be wanted …
Just to feel
like
The big city
hasn’t
Swallowed
them whole
Just to feel
for one night
To notice
their soul
They’ll clasp
desperately to
The
stranger's hand
Grabbing for
something more
Because
everyone’s alone tonight
Everyone will
leave with someone
Who they will
probably never see again
Because
although their act is not a sin
They will
feel guilty
For revealing
and engaging so deeply
With someone
they will
Only embrace
temporarily
Everyone’s
alone tonight
From the
tipsy politician
Crumbling
under the burden of the crowd
To the lower
levels kissing up
Sniffing for
status like stray hounds
Everyone’s alone
tonight
From the
richest people
In the room
Who hide
their insecurity with wealth
To me
The poor
philosopher in the corner
Who studies
everyone else
To avoid
looking at himself
Everyone’s
alone tonight …
