ALONE IN THIS WORLD FULL OF DESPERATION AND DESPAIR. YOU PEEK THROUGH MY WINDOW, BUT NO ONE IS THERE. I HIDE BEHIND WALLS TO BLOCK OUT THE LIGHT. A LIFE FULL OF DARKNESS; NOTHING BUT NIGHT. I WANT YOU TO COME AND TAKE IT AWAY. BUT I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING OTHER THAN PAIN. I'M SORRY FOR ALL THAT I PUT YOU THROUGH. YET YOU STAY TO TRY AND SEE ME THROUGH. YOU SCREAM THROUGH THE GLASS HOW CAN YOU FEEL THIS WAY? BUT, INSIDE, IT IS SILENT; I'VE NOTHING TO SAY. AND YOU CRY AND YOU POUND YOUR FISTS, HOPING ONE DAY IT WILL SHATTER. AND I SIT AND I THINK TO YOU, WHY DOES IT MATTER? I KNOW THAT YOU LOVE ME AND I KNOW THAT YOU CARE. BUT IT'S SO HARD TO SEE THROUGH THE DARKNESS THAT'S THERE. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL STAY, BUT I CAN NEVER KNOW. FOR EVERYONE BEFORE YOU HAS COME AND THEN GO. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I GO THROUGH. JUST BE PATIENT WITH ME AND I'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.
Reason for writing:
I JUST CAME THROUGH HERE FOR SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR SOME RESEARCH FOR A TERM PAPER I HAVE DUE, BUT I SAW THIS AND CHECKED IT OUT. I HAVEN'T WRITTEN IN A LONG TIME, SO I JUST KIND OF POPPED THIS ONE OUT OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. I'M SORRY IF IT'S TERRIBLE.
