Alone
Just me, this paper & my penNo music to drown out the thoughtsNo phone calls to soothe my lonelinessNo arms to hold me in warm or security.AloneJust me, this paper & my penFor as long as I can remember I've been Wandering in this dark place in my mindTrying to find the switch to flip on the lightIn my life. Still...AloneJust me, this paper & my pen.I looked for SOME light in the arms of someone I considered my man, yet in darkness he couldn't even get on his knees to pray out for me, hell, he was blind just as much as I thought I could see. I'm here...AloneSO very aloneJust me, this paper & my penI HATE how much this darkness has changed the woman I once was. I can't see my hand to my face yet The lessons I've learned in this place has taught me who's who & what's what. AloneAll aloneJust me, this paper & my penWriting is light, but not enough to see past the paper. Tired of lies, loneliness, and this darkness. Somebody please shed light on me.
