"Alone"

I did not steal this one from Confuseddd. He just happened to post his "Alone" before I posted mine. I promise. ;)

Anyway, here's more sturm und drang to cheer you up. I'm not entirely sure I'm happy with this one yet, but this is good enough for now. And I'm not entirely sure sturm und drang is an accurate description, but I don't feel like finding a more appropriate alternative at this particular point in time.

"Alone"

Such lovely visions haunt my sight,
too delicate to touch.
Too many times these hands of mine
let flowers wilt to hollow husks.

A tempest swirls without my heart
from dusk 'til morning's light.
Within, I grapple singly
with the emptiness of "Why?"

Not even reaching mountain peaks
have felt such solitude!
The twilight of my happiness
settles down in certitude.

No hand rests on my shoulder.
No girl rests in my arms.
No smile can wipe my tears away,
no one will keep me warm.

In wind and frost I shiver.
In solitude I mourn,
not for the times and loves I've lost,
but for those never known.

Thanks. I trust I didn't plagiarize you too much?

Strangely, I wasn't feeling bad at all when I wrote this. Maybe I should be happy more often?

that's sad but awesome! Ive felt that worry of people thinking Im "ripping off" that you felt. In some ways people with SA think in a similar way so I 'd say there would be quite a few that have written something with the title 'alone' ;) Like confusedd said though, its uniquely yours so dont fear about people thinking you ripped the idea.
