Alone

I don't want a diamond ring

I have no use for a life fit for a king

I don't need a wardrobe full of clothes

Perfumes with a scent of rose


I don't want or need anything physical

Which makes people think that I might be content with my life

But I am really not.


I wake up every day with an aching pain in my chest 

It grows throughout the day

And becomes overwhelming at night.

I want to have someone I can talk too about it.

I want to have someone to hold me at night.


But that's when I realise,

I realise that I am alone.

That pain is the emptiness I feel

And I can't shake it

No matter how hard I try.


I have no one around me

Holding me tight.

There are so many people in this world

Yet I am alone, with my thoughts

And that's the source of this pain


So I pray, I hope and I dream

That one day, someone will step into my life

And make me feel not so alone

I will smile again

And the emptiness will be long gone.
