alone

all alone.
always all alone.
alone...
with my tears
with my fears
with my brain
with my pain

nothing calms me
when i'm alone
starting at
my silent phone

(don't get me wrong
at this hour
i don't really expect calls
i'm just feeling sour!)

music plays soft
i love it, and yet
it grates on my nerves
so long after sunset

6 1/2 hours 'til
morning rising
i'm still up-
not surprising

sleep...that elusive dream...
let me sleep! i wanna scream!
