nightfall returns
bringing another night of loneliness
I see on the faces of every man and woman
the looks of happiness and love
looking towards the ground
hanging my head in shame
as I cannot look upon their faces
to see the wonders they show

for I had felt them once before
never to hold those tender feelings again
everytime I try to remember
the love and happiness I had felt
with family, friends, and loved ones
but the heartache overwhelms me now

remembering how my friends
betrayed me... left me to die
as they played with my heart
made me believe in a love that did not exist
then a love that I thought true
she left my heart to rot in the bitter cold
how can I feel happiness and joy
when no one seems to care
that I do not exist in their eyes
and I might never will
I am truly alone on this cold and lonely road
staring into darkness
wishing to feel love once more

but I am just a lonely shadow
living on the road of life
unable to feel, only to see the truth
that the bitter cold night
that has tormented me for so long
will extinguish the flame of my life
giving the people I loved
the people I cared for
the gift I could not give myself
the gift of peace
the gift of my nonexistence

Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

This is really sad but know you will find what you are looking for! I am sure you will!

Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak
I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

LonelyShadow~
Many walk a road such as you so capably described.

Heartache can be very overwhelming ...
but experience tells us that we have to get beyond it.

Look up to see the light of friendship -
reaching out to others is a good place to begin.

There is someone else out there - with the same feelings ...
but there is hope that shines in new friendships.
