Alone but surrounded

Emptiness cascaded through my blood

My heart was a scorching storm

Beating to every word

Beating to every footstep.

Alone but surrounded

Surrounded by loving hearts

Gentle hugs

My eyes were waterfalls

Streaming to the end of time.

Alone but surrounded

I could never wake up

This nightmare was no dream of mine

Pain soared through my fingertips

Like a lion, it roared

No More

No More

Alone but surrounded

Someone wake me up

Wake me up from this nightmare

Alone but surrounded

Wind cutting through my veins

Pitter, Patter

Rain buckled on the pavement

The day was here

Mother Nature even knew

Storm clouds grew closer

Nothing could break the spell

Alone but surrounded

One flower

No longer bloomed

One soul

No longer lived

Like the moon without the stars

Forever,

Darkness Flourished.
