Left Alone

everywhere i go is wherever i call home
but never am i
someone elses
im just dust in the wind,
waiting for an end

ever sense birth ive felt abandonments cold
here a few years there a few years
to and fro
but never a solid home
i tried finding a soulmate or whatever
but that just lead me down a dark path
drunken and severed
never am i someones one love
no never

not even in a brothers bond
cursed am i to tread in solitude forever
now im falling further down
and just wish to peacefully drowned
in my solitude where, myself, i found

broken hearted and left alone
time and time again 
truly i would be lying if i said it wasnt getting old
seems this is my fate
to be stuck to be only my own
as the darkness takes on and holds
i dont seem to care anymore
i disconnect 
why even try anymore
im always left alone
so i mark where im scarred
with tattoos that leak out of all ive known
my dominate left arm, the left, thats left alone

guess its a sin but least i know God was the only one who really always picked up the phone..
still though i wont deny
i still feel very alone
all i hoped for was for one person to keep me and never let me me go.
and maybe, just maybe..
she exists
and one day i can feel at home
but i cease to try anymore..
because i cant give anymore 
until i know i wont be left alone

Justin~ many of us go through decades of living in our heads. Me, too. Believing life was not worth it and worse. You can have a good day, honestly and a bright future. Today, do a good thing for one person. Make a list of all things you are grateful for. Anything! A mug, a TV, poetry soup, Etc, that you are whatever age you are, Rejoice in it. God beats a woman, hands down. Keep talking to Him..Panagiota
