Alone in the Crowd

Among the city's flashing neon lights I wander through the bustling faceless throng Yet in the noise an emptiness ignites For in this sea of strangers I don't belong Alone in the crowd lost in a world so loud Every step echoes the silence deep inside Even with so many faces passing by I feel the solitude I cannot hide Every smile around feels distant and cold In the rush of life I drift without a guide Searching for comfort in stories untold Yet still I walk these streets with my heart open wide In a throng of souls I stand apart Carrying a quiet ache that no one sees Yearning for the warmth of a tender heart I remain unseen in a crowd that never frees Alone in the crowd lost in a world so loud Every step echoes the silence deep inside Even with so many faces passing by I feel the solitude I cannot hide
