Solitude binds the hold within
For transgressions of the past
Sins of tomorrow quite prepared
Under the weight of its inevitable collapse
For so long laying alone
Waiting for what will never be
As times hand passes by
Never is it gracious to thee
For all of the riches I’d trade
For its tender console
The bleakness never leaves
Seems to place its grip around my throat
Yet as you reflect on the past
The memories seem so strange
What was once filled with hope
Now left with a bitter disdain
And as you look forward to future
Every day’s exactly the same
You hope for the best
While you try to stomach the bitter taste
Left behind I seem to be
Never was I really there
Collapsed under this weight
Another victim of its darkened stare
