Love Poem: The Lonely Traveller

The Lonely Traveller

Just another lonely hotel room in another lonely town
The night is cold and I feel old
And there is no one else around
I need another lonely heart to keep me company
I feel like I'm swimming in a cold and lonely sea

Now I'm drowning in the darkness sinking in the gloom
In deep despair and filled with care 
In my solitary room
I need someone so much it hurts I need someone to care
I need someone to ease this pain but there is nobody there

I need you to hold me close to tell me all is well
I need you to save me 
From this solitary hell
I need you with me I need you to hold me tight 
To take away this aching feeling and to help me through the night

But I have traveled many miles and you are far away
And this vow I'll make right now
I'll come back to you some day
Cos you are that lonely heart the only heart for me
Only you can stop me drowning in this cold and lonely sea

So this is an SOS I'm sending out to you 
I need you to save me 
I need you to get me through
And before I sink down deeper 
Let me hold on to you
