Putting Out the Burning Flame

I have no other choice but to shield now
Angry friends, angry family---it is all the same
No chance of a beautiful love life out there
Petty attempts at being heard are ignored,
I only am a reflection of what people want...

There is always something more important
People who are always a priority
Love seems to triumph everything
Desire casts its umbra upon the world,
And there I am, standing in it's pale shadow...

My skin is absolutely cold and lifeless
The inner light of my soul has diminished
What love I could feel has finally seeped away
Satisfying the world seems nearly impossible
Being a dim memory is all that is left of me...

Whispering trees are my only company now
The sun sets on my dreams as I know them
The moon rises and casts its eerie glow upon me
Reminding me of the companionship I don't have
Hope always seems to wax and wane...

Courage diminishes as quickly as my passions
Leaving me undoubtedly lifeless and soul-less
Faith does nothing but deceive and corrupt
Leaving anything I believed in, dead---
Falling prey to the darkness surrounding...

Watching the clouds drift away,
I can do nothing but lay in the dying grass
Staring up at the stars while wondering,
If there was someone up there looking down,
Taking notice of how alone and abandoned I am...

Even as people walk past my lifeless body,
They don't notice my helpless form
I'm frozen, staring at the sky in shame
Slowly, I close my eyes as darkness takes me,
A lid, putting out the burning flame...
