Forever Alone At Night

Dark nights to spend alone, 
are all I've ever had or known. 

I lay my body down to rest,
Then feel my heart sink in my chest.

While no ones there to care,
My life is hard to bare. 
So I lay in the dark and stare,
Thinking about my past and suicidal dares. 

Sleep doesn't come easy to the wretched and wicked,
So I accept this is my life and that I picked it.

It may get better someday.
But as for now, it'll stay the same way. 

The same as it is when I cry or moan,
the lonely voice I hear is only mine alone. 

#foreveralone
