I switch the lights off,
Leaving the house.
Now it's only a lonely box,
Wrapped in sadness.

Mother is always at work,
Even though I live with her,
I rarely see her.

I'm wandering,
Most of my nights.
Being alone,
Watching the sky.

Why can't I change?
Am I afraid?

I'm scared of being alone,
I'm scared of being betrayed,
I'm scared of beginning to care.

As it starts to rain,
I run under a bridge.

A lonely girl there sits,
Hiding from the rain.
