I Walk Alone

You surrendered unto me
You gave all your love so free
Then you left me all alone
To reap the bitter seeds you’d sown.
Now the shell you’ve left behind
Searches far and wide to find
What can make me whole again
But I fear a tragic end.

Since you left me abandoned,
Hollow and heavy, now it seems
I live life in twilight
I walk alone through waking dreams

Now my hours pass alone
Every sound becomes a drone
And the blood in me remains
Dense and heavy in my veins
I can’t hope to soldier on
While the chasm in me yawns
While it swallows up my soul
Leaves a fraction of the whole

Since you left me abandoned,
Hollow and heavy, now it seems
I live life in a twilight
I walk alone through waking dreams
My heart’s torn into pieces
Scattered like chaff on sorrow’s stream
Heartless numb and bewildered
I walk alone through waking dreams

Just to raise my head
Fills me with swirling clouds of dread
I reach into air, trying to grab what isn’t there
Seeking salvation from despair.

Now my hours pass alone
Every sound becomes a drone
And the blood in me remains
Dense and heavy in my veins
I can’t hope to soldier on
While the chasm in me yawns
While it swallows up my soul
Leaves a fraction of the whole

Sunlight beaming upon my skin
Might as well be sleet and hail
All the tulips are faded
Even the jasmine’s sent is stale
Since you left me abandoned,
Hollow and heavy, now it seems
I live life in a twilight
I walk alone through waking dreams
My heart’s torn into pieces
Scattered like chaff on sorrow’s stream
Heartless numb and bewildered
I walk alone through waking dreams
