I cry alone

Every night underneath the darkened skies

Many tears fall from my saddened eyes.

No one will ever feel my pain

It’s strong enough to drive one insane.

The torment inside is not fake,

It burdens me from the moment I wake.

I’m bound by invisible chains,

Every attempt to break away is in vain.

I need to be taken into strong arms

By a man who will protect me from harm.

Someone who won’t let me go

Until then, I want you to know

I cry alone.

My head is in constant torment,

For me, no one will lament.

I feel like I am among the living dead,

Wandering all alone in my head.

Darkness is all I can see,

Other than shadows looming all around me.

I feel half alive,

I don’t know how much longer I can survive.

With you, I’ll forever feel protected,

Loved, cared for and respected.

My heart needs a place to call home.

Until I can make you see, just know

I cry alone.

I don’t know what to do,

For I have been torn in two.

All I know how to do

Is cry alone.
