Solitude

by The Flame Within   Apr 1, 2006


My lungs seem tired of the air they breathe
how i long to run away to set myself free

i stand alone, my shadow as my friend
not sure of my next move, or if this will end

i dream of what i can have, but cant have what i dream
every single day seems to take away my life stream

i feel weak, my heart ready to retire
my hope hangs on a thin wire

how i wish for things, that can never come true
like i wish i wasn't alone, but with you

i cant make a move, but i have no moves to make
i try to be optimistic but it just feels fake

but i cant find any part of me that feels real
all my scars don't seem to heal

I'm running into walls, and making wrong turns
with every grasp of air, my body hurts

my solitude is my ocean, and i cant swim
running out of answers, afraid that pain will win

but i keep my hope, as i await the day to pass
but it takes its precious time instead of going fast

so here i lay waiting for the world to pass through
laying in ruins as my heart shivers from being alone, in my solitude
