Alone

Death has become my haunting

ghost, patiently waiting, idle until the time comes

to take me. His sinister glare bores into the back of my head,

his presence engulfs my 

existence. Suffering ceases soon.

I feel the icy embrace,

the warmest I have ever known.

Voices in my head whisper,

"tik tok tik tok".

 

Please, please, 

Forgive me of my sins,

My forgotten innocence,

I may never win. 

Alone, I'm alone. Always alone.

Soon, I'll just be bones.

Soon, I'll know what I have known.

Life is but a dream, I am alone.

 

Never have I known peace.

The war inside,

The bloody battles that I must hide.

Screaming rage, steel cage, lost inside this goddamn maze. 

Voices in my head whisper, 

"Tik tok, tik tok".

 

Please, please, 

Forgive me of my sins,

My forgotten innocence,

I may never win. 

Alone, I'm alone. Always alone.

Soon, I'll just be bones.

Soon, I'll know what I have known.

Life is but a dream, I am alone.

 

Please, please, 

Forgive me of my sins,

My forgotten innocence,

I may never win. 

Fuck you and all your "friends",

Your Beemer and your Benz.

Your smile is but a lie.

You hide the tears you cry.

Soon, you'll know what I have known. 

Life is but a dream, we are all alone.

I am all alone.
