Alone in the Dark

It all starts when the sun goes down
I stare at the dark and I sigh and I frown
For far too long it has been my home
Dusty and worn like some forgotten tome

Everyone Ive loved is no longer here
I call for them but they just dont hear
I place my head in my hands and stare at the floor
Tears fall and I know; I cant do this anymore

I sit here without you, all alone in the dark
I remember our names carved deep in the bark
Clenching my fists I scream at the night
I died the day we had our last fight

Ive tried to tell myself I dont love you, I dont care
But I do and this pain is much more than I can bear
It tears and it claws at my soul and my heart
And despite my best efforts Ive begun to fall apart

As I sit alone, the dark begins to whisper to me
Telling me to forget all that I used to be
Its my memories that are causing me to unwind
So slowly I begin erasing you from my mind

It all starts when the sun goes down
I smile and laugh no sign of a frown
I heard a story about a man who did not know he had died
These tears show where he sat alone and cried
