Alone
Is it too hard to ask you to help me after you said you would?
 I let you know how much I needed it
 Yet you give me no answer
 Just another hollow reminder
 Of another person that doesn’t care
 You told me you would be my friend
 Yet now when of you I ask a little
 You tell me I can do it myself
 However, the truth is evident
 I can’t make it on my own
 Your turning me away just adding to my heart’s load
 The cup which holds my sorrow overflows
 For the single reason I am betrayed once more
 There is nowhere to go
 I have been deserted
 Not for the first time
 Yet by far this is the most difficult to bear of them all
 How much time does it take to understand my fear?
 How much does it take for a person to really care?
 Am I really asking too much?
 Can’t you just set aside a little
 Which to me would mean so much?
 Still you refuse
 I feel no need to use force
 Instead accept the fact
 That once more I am alone
 Inside I am weak
 And need so much help
 I shall not ask you again
 Another scar has been left on my heart
 I shall let it heal
 But only a little
 Some of the pain cannot be erased
 So I will just leave it there
 And feel the reason I am empty
 I am standing alone

Basically, I just wanted to portray that if you're alone out there, it's okay to feel lonely, but you have to try your best to change that.
