Here All Alone

Ahhh...love...and loss. We've all been there, right? If you haven't, you need to try it out...Don't forget that not so famous Chinese saying, "Sorrow carves the cup that holds my joy." Anyway, my friends Maria and Joseph broke apart some years ago... I was closer to Maria, so I wrote this song from her perspective, but of course it works either way. Lyrics?

I feel just like a stone
Dropped in the pond
I'm down on my own
But worse, the hollowness grows
When I'm at home

Time seems so unkind
Twisted the truth, and
Left me behind
What do I do now
What will I find?

You said we'd never regret
The love that we spent
Building a life
Now I can't ever forget
The love that we spent
It cuts like a knife

Sleep-I'm yearning to dream
Sunshine and smiles, and
Things yet unseen
But hope is shadowed in doubt
I'm not sure who I've been

I'm numb, day after day
Friends try to call
Make sure I'm okay
I jump, thinking it's you
But what more could I say?

Half of me's shattered like glass
Like a vase that you dropped
The flowers are strewn
And half of me's lost in the dark
In the bed where we lay
Now I lay all alone

To heal takes more than the will
To know I'll survive
This ultimate chill
Love-will you be my friend
When pain's had its fill?

I feel just like a stone
Dropped in the pond
Down on my own
I'm cold, though your image it burns
In me here all alone
