fearing the day

by nednarb - Capricorn

the nights pass me by,
endless questions unanswered.
the saline burns hotter,
as the rage gets stronger.
beaten, forgotten, tortured.
my life consists of these.
and everytime I reach out,
no one can hear my pleas.
I'm lost in a world long forgotten,
chivalry and love are no more.
only the ceaseless crying of
"we want more, we want more."
I dream each night of solitude,
being loved, and having peace.
but as I wake, I only know,
the wrenching pain that shall never cease.
forsaken by all, loved by none,
I alone can't make it through.
I long for a time to come,
in which my life could start anew.
to have happiness one day,
'tis my one true desire.
but for now everyone else burns with joy,
as I stand alone outside the fire.

Reason for writing:

    loneliness...
