Alone

I catch myself smiling, when I realize it’s all a dream… A tear wells in my eye, and then the tear turns to a stream… I sleep a lot because where I sleep you are still real… It’s something to hold on to… Something no one can steal… I find myself talking to your ghost in the brisk, winter night… I run frantically from my lies… I run until I’m out of sight… I’m a hollow, empty shell; aimless and alone... I beg for forgiveness, things to which I can't atone… I know I'm on my own now and there's nothing I can do... Just remember I was once here, and that I'll always love you...
