Cold and Alone

Sitting in the corner,
The pain washes over me.
Cold and alone again,
The thoughts slip back,
To where this first began.
It wasnâ??t supposed to happen,
I shouldnâ??t be like this.
Everything slipped away,
In just one single night.
The desperation pulled me down,
I struggled to stay afloat,
Had that hand not been there,
Iâ??d be at the bottom of a lake.
My mind could not bear the emotions,
I never understood why I was chosen,
Why I was forced to grow up so fast.
Childhood had to be left behind,
As I stepped into the life of a stranger.
Leaving friends in the dust,
I couldnâ??t see the facts,
That were shoved into my face.
Life rolled on around me,
But I was frozen in time,
As nothing I could say or do
Ever proved to get me out.
This situation had taken over me,
There wasnâ??t anything left,
No signs of what used to be,
And suddenly I realized what I had to do.
Help was what I needed,
No matter how hard it was.
I had denied the story for too long,
Pushed the truth away.
Now it was time to take control,
Lead to way to victory.
Every night we fought,
Each tear that was shed,
It was all worth it in the end.
I thought I came out on top of it all,
Trying to show I could stand alone.
Though the years have proved me wrong,
I need others to hold me tall.
There are still those nights I try to escape,
In that little corner of my room,
But I am left cold and alone.
Its then that the thoughts slip away,
To where it first began.
It wasnâ??t supposed to be like thisâ?¦
