Lone Lover

I always did my best

To keep from the rest,

But what I can't deny,

Is this feeling in my chest.

Then I wonder

Why you hate me so

Or do you try to test,

That feeling in my chest?

I'm so alone

I feel such a mess,

Do you purposefully mean,

To make me feel less?

Who's to know,

Whether the heart does jest,

If it does, was it the best,

To set me on this quest,

To find my lifetime's rest?

I need your heart

Just to listen up,

Do not take me as you see,

Before you ask after me.

I'll always know,

That I was too slow.

The quest, it nears its end

Although not in triumph…

Too many tears.
