Alone

How can someone cope with being alone, when the only thing they fear is just that? You strive to be the best Hoping you might be seen Everyone that sees you, only sees the rest Your destiny is to always be last The loneliness eats you up inside Hope dwindles and fades Never good enough to be by someone’s side The shallow pit of your grave is made You hold onto fleeting hope However, the resolve is gone All you can ever do is mope You know that it will not be long Your thoughts turn dark Wanting the peace of the dead Happiness no longer your mark Your aim turned towards your head Life used to be grand Always so full of glee Than you fall and land You tried to flee Dreams of heaven turned black Nightmares of hell become reality Tortured like you are on the rack Still you hold on valiantly Hope is no longer real Gone a long time ago Love you no longer feel You wish the pain would just go Your heart hangs in shreds Tattered and torn apart Bleeding in different shades of red You were just never that smart You try to show affection You almost welcome the pain The most painful affliction You wish you could stay sane You give them your all They laugh and mock Watching you in agony fall Till you land like a rock Everyone says they care Even though all you do is hurt Lashing out at those who dare To say that you are not dirt There once was a time When they said I love you Now you know it was just a line There is nothing for you to do Except there is one last thing left Welcome the peace of the dead Your life now clamed by the rift Hopes and dreams never said There is nothing left in life Only broken dreams and hope You give in to the strife And hang yourself on the rope.
