In The World, Alone

I had almost mastered being so alone,

Separated everybody's life from my own,

The only heart beating in the house was mine,

It made everything, so easy though.

My brain became a blazing cold fire,

Perhaps to myself, I was a liar,

Neither joy found me, nor I found me,

Lost in the depths of the turbulent sea?

Just a strange place, just a strange time,

The kids wouldn't yell, church bells wouldn't chime,

In summers, I suffered from numb frostbite,

To me, myself, I was a horrendous sight.

Darkness swirled around my colored form on bed,

Tendrils of of inkling bleak reminders of ahead,

The silence echoing in my ears became the constant noise,

Shut up! I yelled, yet they played me, as if I was one of their toys.

My head now burns with the blazing fire inside,

The only smoldering embers of a time I didn't hide,

But now, the void had slowly filled up with a cold,

Utterly alone, mind, body and heart, I was alone in the world.
