To be alone is a numbing pain
Left breathless and unmoved by time
To be abandoned with one’s own thoughts
Making existing in this world obsolete
Wandering aimlessly on many paths
Hollowed out by the sights unseen
All the while reaching out and trying
Grasping at life and failing to hold on
Distance growing at a steady pace
Wanting to something other than pain
Even the happiest of moments are bittersweet
The silver lining of it all is tarnished
Day in and day out
Nothing to do
Just to wait and brood over the unknown
To move forward and slip away from the past
