Heart torn,
Full of scorn,
You look at the world
With hatred.
You hate that which,
Lifts you up,
Because that’s
What drags you down.
So in that silent,
Dark abyss
Is the lonely place
In which you sit.
By choice,
And not by force?
Or were you forced
To make that choice?
You try,
And you try,
To get rid of the fire
That burns
For your deepest desire,
Yet all you do
Is destroy yourself,
Stuck forever
Within this mire.
A new chance comes along,
But it means naught to you.
To only one,
You’ll forever
Remain true.
When will you
Open your eyes
To see what’s in front
Of you?
When will you see
That the past
Can never be,
And that your heart
Needs to find
Something new?
When will you realize
That always beside you,
I’ll stand
And I’ll wait
For you?
With love,
With hope,
With a wish
And a distant dream,
I’ll wait for the day
That you call
Out my name.
I’ll await your beckon,
I’ll await your call.
With a whisper
Of gentle words,
I’ll wait for your heart.
I’ll wait for you
To let go of the past
So that forever,
You and I
Will always last.
I never knew a heart could be so lonely,
And I never knew how lonely mine own heart has been.
It never hits me
Until reality strikes again
And puts me in my rightful place.
I should learn to mind my business,
I should learn to not depend
On anyone save for me,
Lest my heart I must defend
Or risk meeting an even lonelier end.
I’ll pull my head out from the clouds
To look at what’s before me.
I won’t stare too long
At what I can never reach out and touch.
This heartache is just too much.
No need for any company
As I wander through this life.
What has companionship done for me
But lead me into a futile strife?
I can’t win it, for I am no competition at all.
I see you and I say hello,
You vow to be my friend.
But eventually you leave me.
I have nothing that you want,
And certainly nothing that you need.
I have tried to win a favor
Of even other lonely souls,
Yet always I’m outgrown,
Always left for something better.
Always left so all alone.
So along this lonely road I’ll wander
Where my lonely heart’s journey
Remains yet untold,
And I will bid passers by a fond good day,
Then wisely be on my way.
See me, do not speak.
I will just keep moving on.
There’s no place for me in any story,
So for now and forever,
So long.
Let this lonely heart die
In this sleeping wolf that lies,
Forever dreaming,
But always denied…
Let me sing my own lullaby…
