Alone

I catch myself smiling, when I realize it’s all a dream…

A tear wells in my eye, and then the tear turns to a stream…

I sleep a lot because where I sleep you are still real…

It’s something to hold on to… Something no one can steal…

I find myself talking to your ghost in the brisk, winter night…

I run frantically from my lies… I run until I’m out of sight…

I’m a hollow, empty shell; aimless and alone...

I beg for forgiveness, things to which I can't atone…

I know I'm on my own now and there's nothing I can do...

Just remember I was once here, and that I'll always love you...
