Alone

Tearing up the letters,
Smearing ink all over the dim white pages.
Splattering paint on the once so beautiful walls,
Ripping all the memories out.

Tears falling down, and stinging like fire.
Breathing hates the way I live.
Living hates the way I breathe, and
I hate the way I feel.

Death is afraid to send me home tonight.
I'm the only connection to fear that the world has ever known.
Loveless, lifeless, faceless, nameless.
Won't you come back?

Broken tears love the ways I've lied,
And gotten myself nowhere.
Curling up into a ball and never looking up again,
I love the blackness in your heart.

Won't you come back?
Cowering in a corner, lost.
Hopeless--to everything--but making it through the day.
Secluded emotions that will never live again.

Life is nothing without you.
Love is nonexistent.
Hate is consuming.
I am nothing.

I am alone.
