Alone

No lap to lay my head,
No words to ease my pain,
I've never felt more alone,
Than I feel today.

Yesterday I was making plans,
Today my head's in my hands.
If this is life I don't want to live,
For I have no more I can give.

Every minute I live is disaster,
Every breath I take is pained.
What, oh what does it take,
To take it all away?

Hours from my sanity,
Darkness has ahold of me.
Even in the light I can only see,
The essence of eternity
,The brevity of life,
The darkness of night.

Alive but alone,
A loneliness I can't postpone,
At the command,
Of the hour hand.
