There's a well of loneliness in men
The words never reach -- the thought to pen --
Feelings seep into our bitter well
Inarticulate -- thoughts cannot tell.
When joy and content walk by our side,
A veil is spread -- its sorrow to hide --
Happiness passes -- deep -- deep -- we sink --
Of loneliness once again to drink.
That well leads us down to endless pain,
Unless by our strength -- we make it gain --
A place that loosens and stirs our sense,
Clouds and releases -- now clear -- now dense.
There's a well of loneliness in men
The words never reach -- the thought to pen --
