Alone With Myself

ALONE WITH MYSELF Today I've looked at myself, And seen that I’m someone else. A shrunken and wrinkled ELF Taken from the darkest shelf. The better half of my life’s gone I stay between twilight and dawn. All seems gone and nothing left, I’m a loser, my Sun bereft. Alone in my gloomy room, I’m waiting for the day of doom. I'm hearing nothing, but silence, I can't tolerate the defiance. With a sorrow in my breast I hope all ends for the best. Let others fight and fuss There's nothing left to discuss. My earthly life quickly burns down. The last day and the last candle, All’s gone and no way to handle. What a dark night - still and void. All illusions and hopes destroyed. I beg to forgive me and forget. Someone took my arm: "Not yet!”.
