Alone



Alone I find no comfort,
Alone I feel no joy,
Alone I have no energy,
Alone a lonely boy,

Alone my heart is breaking,
Alone I feel the pain,
Alone I face the world,
Alone I greet the rain,

Alone I hide my feelings,
Alone I cry out loud,
Alone there's only memories,
Alone here in the crowd,

Alone I turn the pages,
Alone I pass the time,
Alone I see the future,
Alone a lonely sign.
