Alone
How can someone cope with being alone, when the only thing they fear is just that?
You strive to be the best
Hoping you might be seen
Everyone that sees you, only sees the rest
Your destiny is to always be last
The loneliness eats you up inside
Hope dwindles and fades
Never good enough to be by someone’s side
The shallow pit of your grave is made
You hold onto fleeting hope
However, the resolve is gone
All you can ever do is mope
You know that it will not be long
Your thoughts turn dark
Wanting the peace of the dead
Happiness no longer your mark
Your aim turned towards your head
Life used to be grand
Always so full of glee
Than you fall and land
You tried to flee
Dreams of heaven turned black
Nightmares of hell become reality
Tortured like you are on the rack
Still you hold on valiantly
Hope is no longer real
Gone a long time ago
Love you no longer feel
You wish the pain would just go
Your heart hangs in shreds
Tattered and torn apart
Bleeding in different shades of red
You were just never that smart
You try to show affection
You almost welcome the pain
The most painful affliction
You wish you could stay sane
You give them your all
They laugh and mock
Watching you in agony fall
Till you land like a rock
Everyone says they care
Even though all you do is hurt
Lashing out at those who dare
To say that you are not dirt
There once was a time
When they said I love you
Now you know it was just a line
There is nothing for you to do
Except there is one last thing left
Welcome the peace of the dead
Your life now clamed by the rift
Hopes and dreams never said
There is nothing left in life
Only broken dreams and hope
You give in to the strife
And hang yourself on the rope.
