Analysis of Alone
Alone in this world
with no relief in sight
I sit here today and watch
as my pain is their delight.
My thoughts are all scrambled,
my heart is filled with sorrow
When I wake up I
wander about tomorrow.
Will everything be hectic
like my life has always been
Or will it be perfect by being with
my lover, my best friend?
I remember the laughter
and all the smiles,
Ill get back my life
it just might take awhile.
Im fading away dealing
with all this pain,
Im lost in my thoughts
but Im still playing the game.
