Alone
Is it too hard to ask you to help me after you said you would?
I let you know how much I needed it
Yet you give me no answer
Just another hollow reminder
Of another person that doesn’t care
You told me you would be my friend
Yet now when of you I ask a little
You tell me I can do it myself
However, the truth is evident
I can’t make it on my own
Your turning me away just adding to my heart’s load
The cup which holds my sorrow overflows
For the single reason I am betrayed once more
There is nowhere to go
I have been deserted
Not for the first time
Yet by far this is the most difficult to bear of them all
How much time does it take to understand my fear?
How much does it take for a person to really care?
Am I really asking too much?
Can’t you just set aside a little
Which to me would mean so much?
Still you refuse
I feel no need to use force
Instead accept the fact
That once more I am alone
Inside I am weak
And need so much help
I shall not ask you again
Another scar has been left on my heart
I shall let it heal
But only a little
Some of the pain cannot be erased
So I will just leave it there
And feel the reason I am empty
I am standing alone

Basically, I just wanted to portray that if you're alone out there, it's okay to feel lonely, but you have to try your best to change that.
