In This World, I am

by Paul   May 24, 2006


And once again loves dial strikes
It leaves me alone and to myself
But that's not what I want
I just want to be held and loved
I don't want to be forgotten
The memories you gave me will be cherished
The love you showed me will be unmatched
The feelings I felt for you are still attached
Alone in this world, I am

Alone in this world, I am
I have no light showing the way
I see no good but feel all the bad
My being is empty and I shiver with fear
The tears run off my face and hit the floor
I will never be the same
My heart is a hole and it bleeds
And it's you it needs
Unloved in this world, I am

Unloved in this world, I am
Left alone to my own devices and sorrow
The sorrow overwhelms me and I weep
I weep in the shadows hiding my heart
Keeping it safe from the tragedy love beheld on it
Trying to mend it
But you can't mend a broken heart with pain
And you can not live in a world full of shame
Empty in this world, I am

Empty in this world, I am
I don't know what to do anymore
All these emotions seep through my skin
They all come at once and they wont stop
Make them stop, will someone make them stop?
Only you can, only three words from you can
Everything I ever wanted you gave me
And as quick as you did
You took it right back away from me
Your love is what I fail to see
Scared in this world, I am

Scared in this world, I am
You can see me out the corner of your eye
Shaking uncontrollably in the dark
But you don't console me
You pretend you see nothing and let me be
I feel alone and only want you
I don't know why this happened
If you love me then why pretend?
Confused in this world, I am

Confused in this world, I am
You haunt me
I can't get you out of my head
You follow me where ever I go
I only feel your warmth on me
But slowly it's growing cold
Don't leave me please don't leave me
This is suppose to be for the best
But it feels like some sick test
Lost in this world, I am

Lost in this world, I am
I slowly try to gather my way through the darkness
Grabbing the wall every step of the way
I stumble and trip as I guide myself
I don't look back because I'm afraid of what the past holds
Still I think about you
Still I love you and want you
Your hand takes mine
I think to myself it has to be a sign
Missing you in this world, I am

Missing you in this world, I am
The pain I feel isn't anger
It doesn't bottle me up and make me shout
The pain I feel is that of sorrow
The sorrow of a missed love
The sorrow of a ship too far set sail to catch
I miss you, I wont lie
I love you, I can't deny
Betrayed in this world, I am

Betrayed in this world, I am
I don't know anymore if my feelings are returned
I don't know if you ever loved me
It's all a blur of deceit
Would you love me if I showed I loved you?
Would you hold me if I held you?
Only a few answers of the thousand I need
For this closure, I am willing to bleed
In love in this world, I am

In love in this world, I am
Why do you haunt me?
What reason do you have to stalk my thoughts?
You're all I can think about
No matter how hard I try, you're there
And you wont leave, maybe I don't want you to
I love you, I still do
I don't know why I cant stop thinking of you
But it hurts like a stab in my heart
I love you so much...Why did we have to part?
Loving you, in this world I am

Alone in this world, I am
Unloved in this world, I am
Empty in this world, I am
Scared in this world, I am
Confused in this world, I am
Lost in this world, I am
Missing you in this world, I am
Betrayed in this world, I am
In love in this world, I am
But...Am I forgotten? Through these tears I'll force the words of friendship

Do you miss me like I miss you?
Do you want to call to me like I do you?
Do you share the sorrow like I do?
Do you love me, like I love you?

Save me from myself,
Give me company
Give me love
Give me a whole feeling
Give me a sense of content
Give me answers
Give me direction
Give me yourself
Give me remerence
Give me redemption
Give me the love I once felt
Give me...Your love, it's all I want. It's all I need. I love you, and you love...Me?

    Wow this is very sad.

    I love the repetation of the last phrase coming back in the first phrase of the next stanza. That's very beautifull.

    This poem really has the flow it needs. Also the moments of silence. That makes the poem even more dramatic

    It's a very powerfull write. I'm truly impressed.

    Very well done

    Lotsaaa love
