I Walk Alone...

the world rushes by
pushing me aside
as i walk alone
tread the only path i've ever known
the lonely path, more so
i wander amidst them
yet not with them
each one to his own, they say
so i traverse the path untravelled
yet the path so familiar to me
the path i've always known
the lonely path, more so
with each new breath i inhale the emptiness aching my heart
the emptiness thats been ailing me for so long
a hollow inside my heart there is
what is it that aches me so much?
what is it that causes this pain?
for the first time, my memory goes plain
am at a loss for words, no doubt
so i look for help around
look for comfort
for solace and peace
but all i find is the world so oblivious to me
leaving me alone at my own pace
i call for help
yearn for support
look around to find a friend
but nobody has ear to lend
so.. i walk alone
tread the only path i've ever known
the lonely path, more so
with a pain inside me
and a bleeding heart
i try to wipe my fears
try to look beyond my tears
the world rushes by
pushin me aside
am amongst them
yet not with them
a lonely tear escapes my eye
as i bat my eyelids to swallow my pain
i realize that in this world .. its just me, myself, i
