alone I will rot

Alone I wil rot

I am safe in my own home

Yet I feel so empty, so alone.

Each day I feel it creeping and crawling,

Into my heart, mind, and soul.

Like a black blanket of fog, rolling down a hill.

It will suffocate me; until I am still.

The light will shut off, in my eyes.

It will be my untimely demise.

I truly want to be love, I really do.

But I am not in one's thoughts, 

I am not a twinkle in someone's eyes.

Alone in my house, by myself I will rot.

I watch the world go by,

And silently beg with my eyes. 

Come to me, be my friend.

But nobody understands me.

Nobody will ever see the real me.

Nobody will notice;

Nobody will comprehend,

The hopeful looks I send.
