Alone
~ Alone ~
Like a deep black hole
No one around
Running on empty
I feel so
~Alone ~
A sadness so deep
I sometimes wonder if it will ever go away
People come and people go
When it is all said and done
I still feel
~ Alone ~
So many who care
I wish they wouldn’t
So many want to help
Yet they don’t know how
So they just give up
Leaving me all
~ Alone ~
Falling, falling
That hole is swallowing me up
I wish I could find my voice
Maybe then I could scream
I can feel the tears pooling in my eyes
I can hear a voice in my head saying
Don’t you dare cry you little tramp
You don’t deserve even the right to cry
All you deserve is to die
Then silence and again I am
~ Alone ~
I reach out
I don’t know what for just something
Anything to hold on to
Something to stop my fall
I can’t find anything
So there I go
I just keep falling
Then all the sudden
I hear a sound
Oh yeah it is my phone ringing
And as I pick it up
And start to talk I feel myself
Stop
I am no longer falling
I am no longer
~ Alone ~
