In a small, weathered house, tucked away,
An elderly figure sits, alone, they stay.
Through the misty window, raindrops fall,
Creating a symphony on the glass, soft and small.
With weary eyes, they gaze into the grey,
Lost in a world of memories, so far away.
Each droplet holds a reflection of the past,
Of loved ones and laughter that didn't last.
A flicker of warmth dances within their heart,
As thoughts of family and loved ones start.
Happy moments captured in their mind's eye,
Laughter, embraces, love that wouldn't die.
But as the rain's rhythm echoes on,
A sombre truth begins to dawn.
Those cherished souls, once so near,
Have vanished, leaving only a tear.
Loneliness seeps through their fragile frame,
An overwhelming ache, a sorrowful claim.
Isolation's cold hands grip their soul,
As the world outside continues to roll.
Society, blind to this silent despair,
Fails to see the torment that's hidden there.
The loneliness, like walls that confine,
A prison within their home's design.
But in the midst of this desolate plight,
A glimmer of hope, a ray of light,
For one fateful day, destiny unfolds,
A stranger appears, their heart unfurls.
With a smile that lights up the darkest sky,
A person kind and gentle draws nigh.
Their words, like balm, soothe the lonely heart,
Releasing anxiety, tearing loneliness apart.
In friendship's embrace, the walls crumble down,
The weight of isolation, no longer profound.
For in a moment's connection, a new chapter begins,
As the lonely heart finds solace within.
So let us remember, with empathy and care,
The lonely souls burdened by life's unfair.
May we be that person, with smiles to impart,
And shatter the walls that enclose their heart.
