Alone as I was meant to be
I look around and all I see
Is happiness that I will never know
The mate of souls has passed me by
I'm left out and suspect why
Affection has become my affliction

Advances answered, simple no's
Highs have been surpassed by low's
Such is life so keep it for yourself
What I dealt came back to me
I only wish then I could see
What lay ahead, I would've change my tune

My name's now in the payback book
Avenging all the love I took
For granted and now I pay the toll
Does anybody know I'm here
Am I an only child and do I fear
I share the secrets I already know

I loved the first two lines of the second stanza. That has been the story of my life. Have faith that something more beautiful than anything you have ever known lays ahead of you for it sounds as though you have learned your lesson and have become better person.  

P.S. I know you're here!

You're too kind to me danni. I really haven't been all that bad but got a little carried away with words on this one. Also, I do know you're there and I am very pleased by knowing that!!

LB this says so many things I adore the word usage and everything about it!
