You lie so close to me,
Naked, almost touching
Almost. But not quite
My body reacts, in futility
I’ve never been so alone.

I feel your breath on my breast
My heart, just beneath, pounds out your name.
I’ve never been so alone

My eyes see you thru the dim light
I hear sleeper’s voice
Murmured dreams of another life
I’ve never been so alone

I’d give my life, my love.
My tomorrow and all I have.
But I’ve thought myself into the darkest corner
I’ve never been so alone

If love were enough to heal a wound
My love for you could end eternity’s sorrow
It’s strong enough cross oceans of time
I’ve never been so alone.

No crack will let the light get in
No light will escape this velvet covered heart
I’ll give no more to anyone
I’ve never been so alone

The love I have, I’ll keep inside
The wall will be rebuilt
Brick by brick by brick by brick
I’ve never been so alone.

My lifetime’s tears fall like the rain on your window.
Outside your warm embrace
And dismissed.
My heart will homeless wander
I’ve never been so alone.

I kiss your cheek.  
Warm, soft.
Like it ever was.
I die inside and fall away

I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone

I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone

I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone

I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone

I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone

I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone

I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone

I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone

I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never been so alone
