Broken Dreams

I walk alone tonight after our fight.
No one pays me a passing glance.
I hear the earth moving, but I'm standing still.
I walk alone.

I walk alone.
The pain of the living engulfs me and throws me out.
Shattered bottles, tattered homes.
There's nothing for me to do; I walk alone.

I walk alone as others laugh and smile.
I kick a rock in my path and watch it tumble away.
The pale street lights flicker menacingly.
I walk alone.

I walk alone.
Nothing but trash blows in the frigid wind.
I can't feel, my body's gone numb.
I can't see, my perceptions gone.
I can't breathe the air is suffocating.
I walk alone.

I walk alone.
The world is too loud yet too quiet.
No where to run and no where to hide.
I walk alone.

I walk alone.
The wet concrete reflects my dark mood.
I can't breathe, am I drowning?
The walls around me collapse.
 I walk alone.
