Single, stained, steel wall,
It holds me here,
Alone.
Only time seems to crawl,
As the air itself has died.
There is a knock at the door,
I will not answer.
Alone,
Red seeping into the floor,
I silently long to be free.
The door shakes,
I cannot answer.
Alone,
My heart aches,
To be free of this cage.
I hear it now,
The footsteps, the voice.
"Alone",
It whispers, mouth against my brow,
"That is how it always will be".
Someone stands over me, the door wide open.
I cannot do this,
Alone.
Though the door they have broken,
I now might be free.
The world starts to fade,
But I know now I am not
Alone.
The mind I thought was made,
Seems to shatter.
"Please don’t leave me,
I can't live without you,
Alone."
Their words set broken hope free,
But the scythe had claimed my soul
