Myself, alone
Foolish rhythms, careless pride
makes me feel so cold inside
hearty laughter, giddy smiles
thoughts of this and that beguile
i'm too lonely, i'm too tired
for such memories admired
coughing at the unborn sun
and glimpsing darkness thus begun
solitary footsteps tread
hopeless destinations bled
by loving kiss and happiness
i should, at least, my mind caress
but lo, i see such loving eyes
and arms entwined and sunny skies
it makes me want to shout and cry
and sometimes makes me want to die
my world was such, so like my dreams
of love and kisses, so it seems
he went away to the unknown
and now i find myself alone.
