Alone
The thought of losing someone is hard to bear,
But holding on only brings more despair.
Hopes and dreams turn into disillusions,
Bringing on deep depression, along with seclusion.
Despite the pain, the heart fights to stay alive,
Because the absence is killing anything left inside.
No hope remains, no reasons to care.
Feeling beat down and crying out in despair.
But no one's listening, theres not anyone there.
Just you and your thoughts with no room to spare.
Lost in the moments you shared throughout time.
Leaving only a piece of you when they left you behind.
This kind of pain is selfish and only felt firsthand.
As empathy can’t feel what the hurt apprehends.
Soon the loss reaches a subtle peak,
where illusions proceed for the sake of the grief.
Finding solace in tears that's now your new home.
Only discovering peace by being alone.
