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
