If I was not alone, how joyous I would be,

The smiles upon their faces no longer a mystery.

I surrounds myself with hundreds, even thousands of my

Friends.

Yet, I am lonlier than ever and have dipped my heart in lead.

The lonliness is not so bad, when I swallow all my fear,

Until it creeps back up my throat in a manner strange and weird.

Now I am still alone, so to the shadows I will flee,

Hiding, cloaked in darkness, where forever I shall be.
