Alone

There are times of clarity, times of pain
Times of joy, times of despair
All I see is darkness
Its embrace surrounding me, holding me
Alone
Alone

I can see no light, feel no touch
Smell no scent, hear no sound
For I am outcast
In the Dark
Alone
Alone

In times past there was light, sparks flashing like fireworks across
the sky
Gone. All gone
The dark squeezes me, crushing oppressing me
Is this how a star feels before its a black hole
Alone
Alone

Emptiness is in my soul
In my heart and body
Filling my with its nothingness, killing me with its
indifference.
Hating me with its vacuum. Is life always to be so
Alone
Alone

How do we survive
Live, learn
Love and cherish
When we always end up alone
Alone
Alone

Darkness has become my friend, a place where I can hide
Letting it protect me from harm, safe from prying eyes
Darkness is my master and I its slave. I am outcast, not of the many,
one of the few
To wander and ponder on the outside
Alone
Alone.

In this eternal night there are stars blinking, so far and not
near.
Their radiance casting a crumb of warmth over my cold soul
Which reaches like a flame to a draft looking for life
To far, to far for I am alone
Alone
Alone

I feel weak, wandering lost on the outskirts of society looking for a
place to belong, to be
Looking inside to the ME I know not what I see
Who have I become with this frail shell
To hide in the dark alone
Alone
Alone

I used to play, laugh and sing, fight, drink and teach
Master what have I done, what have I achieved
Is this all that's left after the light has gone
Emptiness, Darkness and solitude
Alone
Alone
