Alone

Alone...
...So alone...
...In a world of my own,
Surrounded by images
Of a life I've once known.
Memories of happiness
And of a time I could love
Flood all my senses.
But it's still not enough
To alleviate the suffering
I feel in my soul,
The hate and resentment,
For me, in this world.
Is it a person
Or a creature, unknown,
That keeps me locked up
In my mind; on my own?

I fear...I must confess
That these feelings are mine.
I cry for myself,
Burrow deeper into my...
...Mind...full of self pity,
Images I've once known.
I crawl back to the safety
Of the known...
...All alone...

...So alone...
With no-one to hold.
I dare not come out
For what I was told,
By myself...
...To me...
...I heard the words spoken.

My life and my dreams
Lie all around me,
Shattered, broken,
In pieces, just shards
Of glass from the past.
Inside I remain safe
From the shadows they cast.

I'll remain in this place,
The world that I know,
'Til the day that I die...
...All alone...
...So alone.
