Alone

I sit here feeling lost
I have pursued knowledge and desire, but at what cost
I am left alone with an empty head
Filled with thoughts of what my life could have been
I feel like I’m two steps behind
To my friends I seem fine, but inside I’m dying
When did I grow so far apart
From those that offered me their hearts
I have no love to return, my heart is as hard as stone
I didn’t notice as it grew cold
But now it’s too late, frozen whole
I feel there is no hope
To melt this lost soul
The silence never stops ringing
I want the warmth of another’s skin
But with nothing to give, fear makes me give in
So I sit here alone, without the courage to live
