Each day is a new struggle

What was once an easy task now difficult

I have no will, no strength

it has all drained out of me like sap leaking from a tree

Slowly, but definite

Life is dwindling away

The future dark and unsure

My past unforgettable

I am so alone

Happy faces all around me

Hollow I am still

Dreams have long since faded

I cannot afford anymore

Why is it that I am here

Will anyone confess the answer

I cannot gather unto me the energy to do more

I am disappearing in spirit

Lingering in the misery I created

Bitterness my best friend, my comfort

Love is a stranger to me

Something that will never be
