Alone...
Dig a hole and bury me inside. Make it dark so I can hide. Drench the dirt with my tears. Lock me away for years. So I don't have to face the unknown. Reality has hit and I'm alone. Again.
There was a time when he made me smile. He held me tight, he stayed for a while. But like the rest, he disappointed me. And with him, it got so lonely. I cried in my pillow. Til I finally let him go. But now I'm alone. To face this unknown.
There was time when money wasn't an issue. But these days, it's all I run into. Not enough, just to get by. It breaks me, when I try. I just want to live the fullest life. But it's so hard to even get it right. Mostly I get upset. Then I'm depressed.
There was a time when there was always someone to cling to. But now I'm free to just fail into doom. I've wanted to succeed. But I guess it's not in me. I'm just a fool. So...Will you please?
Dig a hole and bury me inside. Make it dark so I can hide. Drench the dirt with my tears. Lock me away for years. So I don't have to face the unknown. Reality has hit and I'm alone. Again.
Tomorrow I'll feel differently. But for now, just let me be.

Lying here waiting
Thoughts churning in my head
Painstakingly turning
While I am tangled in my bed
Defeat pours over
by B.J. Wilson
Gone
I reach for something no longer there
You have turned and fled
How could you help me
If I cannot help myself?
Weary of the
Alone
All alone in a busy place
With a fake smile upon her face
Her soul once free now cry's so loudly
But you cant tell because
by Andrea Evans
My Own Arms
Here inside four walls
resting in my chair
I turn to say I love you
knowing you're not there.
I took for granted
