WHO AM I?

WHO AM I? YOU MIGHT ASK,

AM I SOMEONE THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW?

I AM BUT A STRANGER FROM THE PAST,

WITH NOWHERE AND NO PLACE TO GO.

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOREVER

FOR A PERSON THAT WOULD TRULY CARE

ABOUT SOMEONE THAT IS NOT SO CLEVER

AS MOST WOULD LIKE, YET FAIR.

I AM JUST A LITTLE "UNCLEAN", THEY SAY;

I APPEAR NOT TO HAVE SHAVED.

THE LOOK UPON MY FACE SEEMS MEAN,

BUT I SEE SOMEONE THAT CRAVES LOVE.

A LONELY HEART IS A HURTING THING,

IT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS,

IT IS USUALLY FILLED WITH THE WINGS

OF FEAR, ALWAYS AROUND THE BEND.

PEOPLE MISTAKE A LONELY HEART,

FOR ONE THAT IS DISTANT AND SHY.

BUT I HAVE FOUND THE VERY BEST PART

IS TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE HEART THAT CRIES.
