Alone

I woke up in the early morning with a bloodstained right hand

Your lifeless body lies next to me, why aren't you breathing?

I have no memory of the previous night, I don't think I was drinking

The sirens sound, there's nowhere I can hide, so I bewilderedly stare


It wasn't me, I swear it wasn't

I insist, though I've been caught red handed

I've no alibi, nor any motive

How is it I'll deny this accusation?


Under arrest, I was dragged off

How shameful it is that they don't believe me...

I was framed, please hear me out

They silently handcuffed my right hand to my left


Something is hurting deep inside, it feels as though I could scream

I had no reason to kill him, I lament inside my cold cage

Where did I go wrong? Does life really just hate me this much?

I feel my cold heart start to crumble within my ribcage


A voice speaks to me, familiar, unrecognized

"I did it so we could be together"

Alone. Together. Imprisonment of love.

I trusted myself to loneliness's warm embrace
