Solitude

Again I go alone
Again to this same place
Needing someone is pointless
No one will ever be there for me
I long for any embrace

Most people's relationships don't even work
Most people argue all of the time
At least they have someone
I have no one - not even to quarrel with
The only heart I have is my own

No one is waiting for me
No one greets me when I come home
I'll be alone forever
I have myself to comfort me in my tears
I'm falling away into the unknown

I stay here by myself
I stay in my empty shell
All is hopeless - all is in vain
I am trapped - stuck here for eternity
Here in my own private hell
