| ALONE Alone in my heart my soul and my room I sit here remembering what once was Longing for what should have been Fearing what now never might be Something so pure and so beautiful Gone to the wind and the oceans With the fallen crisped leaves of autumn Where there was once understanding Where laughter of all sorts was heard This face that was always lit by a smile Love painted on every action Now is an empty gaping hole A void and loneliness dark as night The light of no star can light this path Being walked alone beneath dying trees This place holds no beauty The sparrows have all flown away To sing on someone elses windowsill The sun does not rise or set here anymore The clouds bring thunder and lightning That burns anything with life in its path Yet the fire passes me by to let me live The flames mingle with the wind Dance with the wind in the trees The wind now knowing of my suffering howls There is nothing to help Nothing All alone |
