I walk along the crowded sidewalk
All I see is faceless people
No expression
Neither happy or sad
No emotion, as they look down at their devices
No eye contact
No sound
I look in the mirror
Have I become one of them?

Should I continue to believe in love?
Old fashioned romance and singing doves?

As much as I look, it just can’t be found
No one is real, although seeming so profound
They tell you what you want to hear
Whisper sweet nothings in your ear

I don’t believe a thing I hear anymore
They all lie, eyes staring at the floor

Then that first date
And the hands start to wander
I don’t even know you!
You’re not making me fonder

Then there are those
Who pretend to care
They are wonderful when they’re around
But they are hardly ever there

They look you up
When their needs cry loud
Why haven’t I learned?
To stand tall and proud

Being alone is my sentence in life
I feel like my heart has been stabbed with a knife

Love is for others
I wish them well
I’ll be alone
Living in hell

The sun shines brightly through the window
Hitting the prism as the light fills up the room
Rainbows covered the ceiling and walls
A beautiful masterpiece to hide the gloom

She was beautiful and full of life
Something happened to her
She had no will to get out of bed
The world became a blur

So why so much fright
To go out in the light
What has taken away her spark
Turned the world so grimly dark

The heartache she feels
Is more than she can bear
She truly believes
That no one really cares

So safe in her bed she stays
Never going out to play
She longs for the darkness so she can sleep
The only time she would not weep

I awoke in the ER
Not again! Said my brain
What happened now?
I must have surely gone insane

I have no memory of what happened or how I got here
Just the gallon wine bottle and ***** in my hair

I’m now strapped to the bed
There is no one around
My mind is racing
How was I found?

I did it again
How many promises I broke
Do I get another chance?
It is a miracle I awoke

I won’t say it was easy
But I fought through the storm
My old best friend
I do not mourn

Two years later
I sit here and ponder
Thanking the Lord for my new life
I promise never to squander

You cheated and left me
Four years ago
You've been crying over this
All the while I've been told

You chose your path
Took the fork in the road
You say you've always loved me
but you've chosen the toad

I finally forgive you
Not for you but for me
I can now cast the memories of you
Deep into the sea

Some days I'm cold
Some days I'm hot
Some days are full of fear
Stomach in a knot

How do I shake this
I'm trapped in the midst
Don't know what I'm afraid of
So how can I fix?
