[hometext] => Written when I was 14 and my best friends basically told me they wanted me out of their lives.
[bodytext] => I sit here in the shadows of a world too dark to see I stare outside the window but the world does not see me It seems to pass above me, through me, travelling everywhere, But where I need it most it seems is not even really there. Every day a new sun rises and every day it sets But my mind is just a desolate plain, filled with sadness and regret Fear and anger have consumed me, all I am now is doomed And it doesn't seem to matter that it's all because of you. I know that as the years go by I will recall that fateful day When you took one last look at me and then you walked away You had been all I had left, my last faint ray of light And when you turned your back on me I was thrust into the night. A night darker than that which I have ever known And I know now that I cannot continue so alone What have I become, now with nothing left to lose? What does it matter where life takes me, whatever path I choose Has to take me away from this dark void of despair I have nothing to hold onto and nothing about which to care All I can do is try to hold onto one last ray of hope And if it too slips away I know not how I'll cope. I see you all around me, the cause of my abyss And I wonder how you smile in a world as dark as this You laugh and sing around me, but you're not really there And it tears my heart to realize that you never really cared. I only hope that from your happiness you can look down on me And remember that one not too far back I, too, used to be A part of your small circle, though perhaps you never knew There was someone on the outside who wanted in to you.
