Lonely Heart

Nikki, 16, US

A gloomy day, it's cold and wet
Sitting inside bored and alone
Everyone's busy
I sigh a loud moan
I stare out the window
And look at the clock
It's ticking away
Solid as rock
The streets are all flooded
Just like my heart
As I am inside
When we are apart
I look at the cars
As they drive by
I see it's not you
I let out a sigh
The hours tick by
Not fast enough
These are the days
That are pretty tough
The water falls
Down from the sky
It hits the ground hard
But soon will flow by
As so will my tears
When you return
My feelings are strong
As you will soon learn
