Walking Alone
The earth so quiet and still
The wind so gentle and calm
My life ran on chances like the spin of a wheel
The drop of a tear on my palm
But tonight I walk alone
No one to console a breaking heart
A push and a shove and now we’re far apart
Broken and full of disbelief
A body so run down on grief, so be brief
Because tonight I know I walk alone
A body so crumbled
A mind so humbled
A smile that tell lies
Apologetic words are mumbled
Sorry for what? I have no clue
That monster so angry with all its crew
But guess what, im not sorry for me im sorry for you
Tonight of all nights I rather not walk alone
The sky so dark with not a star in sight
Walking…better yet running through the night
Screaming at the top of my lungs of agitation
Annoyed and ready to fight out of frustration
No one around to take the blow
It’s giving me the space to heal and grow
Tonight is the night I learn why I walk alone
