For the first time in my life, I am terribly lonely
For the first time in my life, I can feel the crisp air around me
For the first time in my life, I notice myself

I notice myself

For the first time in my life, I feel terribly lonely
For the first time in my life, I feel completely naked
For the first time in my life, I am alone

I am alone

In this cold world, in these dreary days
I am shivering, teeth clattering
With not so much as a blanket on my shoulders
With not so much as a shoulder to lean on

I am alone

With a mind clear and sharp as crystal
So I can hear the deafening silence
With a soul burning beyond control
Threatening to take me with it

for the first time in my life, I am alone
*for the first time in my life, I am terribly lonely
