Alone
darkness is surrounding me
this is where I shall always be
covered in a cape of black
no one to watch my back
I cannot go into the light
unless I wish to join the fight
there is a coward within me
for i have no bravery
I remain hidden from you
I am one but once was two
he left me late within the night
name was drafted, left to fight
now I fend for myself
not great for my health
I have learned not to care
for the pain i could not bare
I dream of the day when he’ll come home
then i shall begin to roam
he shall come along with me
happy we shall always be
now that i have sung this song
the darkness has finally gone.
