Alone

It still haunts me

The real thing laughs and

The reflection slowly drowns

 

When you see me

You won't believe me

My stories won't make any sense

I know it seems make believe

But I always have up a fence

 

The walls that guard me

Will come crumbling down

With just one touch

When I am found

 

Everyone will look at me with such dismay

They'll think all were lies

It won't matter what I say

They won't look into my eyes

 

I will face this alone

I won't ask anyone for help

They won't call me on the phone

I will face this alone
