I was always lonely and I am lonely still.

Sometimes I get real lonely sleeping with you.

I felt so lonesome, all of a sudden. I almost wished I was dead.

I shall never sleep again. But
then — how shall I endure my own company?

He hated to be alone, but people bored him. Being alone was like being tired, but unable to sleep.

I am lonely, lonely.
I was born to be lonely,
I am best so!

from “Danse Russe

Night is coming on and I am filled with indescribable loneliness. Felt feverish; bathed in a black, silent stream;

I long for solitude and yet I cannot stand it.

I felt very lonely when they were all there.

I don’t want to suffer any more, I have had my mind broken open over and over before, I have been isolate and loveless always. I have not slept with anyone since I saw you, not because I was faithful but because I am afraid and I know no one. I will always be afraid I will always be worthless, I will always be alone till I die and I will be tormented long after you leave me.

I avoided my own friends and acquaintances, yet the loneliness of my existence was insupportable.

Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting
That would not let me sleep.

There seemed to be no cure for loneliness save only being alone.

Much depends on your attitude. If you are filled with negative judgment and anger, then you will feel separate from other people. You will feel lonely. But if you have an open heart and are filled with trust and friendship, even if you are physically alone, even living a hermit’s life, you will never feel lonely.
