I would almost find it funny-
If I were not so sad-
Perhaps I’d even be amused-
If I didn’t hurt so bad.

For years I’ve tried to push away-
All who would draw near-
I find that I’ve succeeded…
Alas, I find me here-

A place, that when surrounded-
I still am all alone.
And those who tried to love me?
Their affections are long gone.

A place where only echoes-
Of pleasure now exist…
The good times long since faded-
Into near forgotten mists.

A place devoid of pleasure-
Yet memories remain-
And constantly remind me-
“You brought about this pain.”

I guess it’s only fitting,
Since I have made my bed-
That I should occupy it
Even when they find me dead.

Gloomy, but Good, hugs round the neck
to you GsJohn.

~Do You Know That Feeling
Of Just Wanting To Get Lost
In a Starry night~..
