Eternally Alone

It doesn’t matter how the sun sets,

nor how the clear streams flow.

There is no joy in waves of grain

or brilliant fields of snow.

 

This world in all its glory 

spins round eternally,

but glory melts to sand and grey

because there’s only me.

 

I once lived life upon a world

with billions by my side,

where I spent my time wishing 

I could run away and hide.

 

I prayed that God would give me

a whole world to call my own.

He granted it and now I live…

eternally alone.

Thanks Jen. I try to write in simple terms, but with messages to make people think a bit deeper and more eternally. This was written from an assortment or experience, both mine and that of others. Hope it helps people see that despite how hard being connected is and working though our relationships is... they are worth it. Despite how easy it is to be alone... no one truly would ever be happy if that was their existence.

Hello, this sort of fell into my lap and, reading it, I was awashed by emotions!
I hope this is an idea for a "lonely" song and not your true state of affairs.
With that said, your work is truly engrossing and emotion rendering.
