Breathe


i sit there as you Poke and Probe me 

alone in that once dark hole

Can't see the light, Can't see the shine

but still my tears fall as Rain does from a cloud

I cry and I scream when you leave as i'm Alone

but wait alone at last 

no more poking no more probing 

it's just me and my thoughts

i stand and i dance

I'm happy

i Lay and i Breathe

cause for once 

i'm alone at last

Alone at last i shall be

in that once very dark and cold hole 

i cry huddled up in my knees

i let a Tear or two Fall
