Alone

~ Alone ~

Like a deep black hole
No one around
Running on empty
I feel so 

~Alone ~

A sadness so deep
I sometimes wonder if it will ever go away
People come and people go 
When it is all said and done 
I still feel 

~ Alone ~

So many who care 
I wish they wouldn’t
So many want to help
Yet they don’t know how
So they just give up 
Leaving me all 

~ Alone ~

Falling, falling 
That hole is swallowing me up
I wish I could find my voice
Maybe then I could scream
I can feel the tears pooling in my eyes
I can hear a voice in my head saying
Don’t you dare cry you little tramp
You don’t deserve even the right to cry 
All you deserve is to die
Then silence and again I am 

~ Alone ~

I reach out 
I don’t know what for just something
Anything to hold on to 
Something to stop my fall 
I can’t find anything 
So there I go 
I just keep falling 
Then all the sudden 
I hear a sound 
Oh yeah it is my phone ringing 
And as I pick it up 
And start to talk I feel myself 
Stop 
I am no longer falling 
I am no longer 

~ Alone ~
