Alone
Alone I sit and wonder why,
Alone I sit and start to cry.
Alone I sit and wish for death,
Alone I sit and take a breath.
Alone I sit and grasp my knife,
Alone I sit and take my life.
Alone you sit inside my room,
Empty now like a virgins womb.
Alone you sit and think of me,
Upon your past I watched you flee.
Alone you sit for eturnity,
Alone you sit and think of thee.
