Alone

I live a life of solitude, no one around Following a spiral path, my life is downward bound No value of life have I yet found Just listening to the sound of distant gossip and chatter My life is like the meeting of a rock and glass, all it can do is shatter Fatter and fatter grow my tears each day I live without trust and a heart that’s been broken in every single way Oh, what a life of sorrow and despair A life so pointless, to the point that no one even cares For no one can bear, this timeless pain to endure A road I’ve traveled one to many times No gifts to enjoy, no one with whom to belove the joy of giving At no point in time have I felt my life anything worth living But I have been receiving, receiving suffering and tribulation My heart has been imprisoned and longs for liberation My mind is delegating on whether to let love in When the mind clearly knows the heart will be broken again My life light, seems to be becoming dim as life goes on For my life is a mistake, a blessing gone wrong For I can’t explain why I feel that I am stranded And all my life I’ve felt alone and abandoned
