I Am Killing Me

I don't want to be here destroying myself
But no one else will find me here 
Alone and in the dark
Without even the pleasure of sharing company with time
I am all I have because I have lost everything
So what can I do when all I know is losing
With idle hands made only to tear down all I know
And all I have
This is who I am
I don't want to be here destroying myself
But nothing else and no one else is here
But me

It is a sad thing to lose someone who is that close to you. Just know each day will get better and I am happy that you could find a little solace in knowing that you are not alone in a time of experiencing great loss
