Alone

By Melissa McMahan

Alone in the dark night

crying in my loneliness

but my tears are in vain

my pain is all I have

My dreams turn to dust

heart filled with sadness

a soul burned to ashes

I've been ripped apart

Your emptiness chills me

but you cannot see it

within your dark eyes

I have no defenses love

I've suffered long enough

but nothings all you give

I'm eager just to see you

then you only walk away

As another day goes by

I'm alone in a crown

nothing more to say

it's just the way it is

I'd do anything for you

you stand the sight me

tell me what did I do

to make you feel this way
