Another from a darker time:

I can't remember a time
That I haven't felt alone
I've spent my life with a stranger
I haven't really known
I'm looking for some love
And I'm not finding it with him
So I know the only place to get it
Will be from within
My father doesn't love me
My mother doesn't know how
Now I find myself with someone
That in the here and now
Doesn't love me either
Because he can't love himself
So here I am alone in
My bedroom by myself
We haven't shared a bed in
So very many years
His lack of interest in me
Have made me shed many tears
Somewhere along the way I gave
Him permission to lie
I have a responsibility in
His acts I can't deny
But happens when you
Don't care enough to stay
What do you do when your children
Need a father every day
Perhaps you find a distance
You can be comfortable in
While you try to find yourself
And who you are again
You've been living without
Love for such a long time
Perhaps for your choices in life
This is the punishment for your crime
I'll try to live a parallel
Life without leaving him
I'll learn to ignore the bad
Stuff so my babies won't know
I chose to stay with their dad
Because I love them so
I have always lived without
Feeling love so I'll be alright
I'll just find a way
To not cry myself to sleep each night

Call me an old softy but the thoughts here pull at my heart. No one needs to endure the pain of being alone and unloved...ever. To be wanted, needed, loved is at the center of the human spirit. To have found someone to share your life with is the real point of human existance.
