Alone

—/—/—/—/—/—/—/—

Stop those tears,

I hate it when you cry;

You're stronger than this,

When did you lose your fight?

Behind these bars, I cry out,

To the monster you've become;

But in the rage, I'm just silence,

Forgot and fading to gone.

Suddenly I can't understand,

The thoughts in my stolen mind;

You've lit a fire so wild,

That there's no truth to find.

It's your mind now, control it!

Should it be so hard?

Without a method, there's madness,

That's why I've drifted so far.

Let go of your pride,

You can't go this alone;

You're a force without power,

Without true strength, without soul.

You're killing me slow,

I'm too weak to fight;

I can't stop your storm,

The one making days nights.

Quit wasting my life,

I've just got one to use;

You're burning up time,

Guess what? It won't stop for you.

You've chained up my dreams,

What you're too scared to address;

Cause you can't come to terms,

With what your destiny lacks.

Still, at dark, I hear you cry,

I know I'm the shadow;

All your pain, I too suffer,

But yet it's you that I battle.

Each day is a loss,

My memory's in the dirt;

Pushed away by the waves,

Soon you'll forget who you were.

Where do you run to?

I have nowhere;

How I wish to just scream,

But I would never dare.

My pleas to heaven,

Calling, "God, don't you see?"

But if he hears, if he knows,

He doesn't care enough about me.

Tide change, questions rise,

How I doubt you, I do;

It's so hard to believe,

What was once clearly true.

But I can't give up hope,

Not on what I'm waiting for;

That day, rescue day,

When you will be no more.

If I'm still here behind this locked door.
