Loneliness
Laughing so loud it drowns out the silence
In a room without sound
I feel for the walls in the darkness
Praying I don't lose focus
It was all just a sham really
Their voices fade to a droll hum
Just rattling around in my brain
It leaves me quite aghast
Avast ye lonely moon in the sky
Your light splashes across my bedroom
And silver turns scarlet
The quintessential nocturne
The laughs turn twisted
My eyes alit in sapphire fire
My heart frayed and twinged with regret
For the sins I've yet transgressed
All the baubles in the world shan't save me
Not from the nightmares that visit me each night
Reminding me when my laughter ceases
My room is a tapestry of sorrow
Aye I find me a nice corner
And there I bury my head in my hands
Pearls of sadness leaking from my eyes
Such a pitiful little creature I am
In life it is easy to love
But it is hard to be loved
In life it is hard to be missed
But it is easy to miss
If I open my eyes I could pierce the sky
With a strangled cry
Crying so loud it drowns out the silence
In a room full of sound
