Black as the night
A heart alone
Time is not my friend
Fear suffocates me at every turn
Feeling like I'll never be normal
Always needing and wanting
Never content
Watching through a store window
As life passes me by
All the happiness others share
Unavailable to me
No longer the prodigal
But retired to the bench
Waiting for something to happen
I fail every time I try to change
There's nothing for me
My fire is burning low
Nothing but embers
Where is the spark?
The spice?
Make me feel something
Anything
Even the worst would be better
Than nothing
