Lonely

Bright lights, were to be outside,

Smiles, laughter

BAM! a moment's silence,

Soon laughter was to be echoed even more.

Moments to celebrate,

wishes, magic

And here I lie in the dark

For those to wish seem so far

For those lights too distant

And so I keep lying,

Quiet, not a sound

And in that moment I feel so alone

It shouldn't have been like this,

Not anymore

I've been far away, far too long

I should be with those closest to me

For soon, new ones would come along

And then it would be so very different, new

Nothing the same, no face I'd know

Just like today, I'd be alone once more

And yet somehow, I've survived this day

A haunted whisper of tomorrow

But then I'd have no choice

I had one now.

So why those sounds seem so far away

So far, so still.

Come back, take me.

I so miss you.

Come back, take me.

Oh please take me away....
