On My Own

Alone is a common word.
It's always used without thought.
but only the experienced
really know how it feels inside.

deep down i'm not alone;
i have friends and family,
i just have no-one to share
my everyday life and love with.
Is that what "alone" really means?

In the past i've got close to people,
but i always panic and push them away.
it never fails to stop happening.
just like waking up everyday.
it could be because it never happened early.
i've always been too independant.
then, when i'm nearly there,
i'm right back to where i started.

everyday and everywhere is a struggle;
i'm reminded of my failure everywhere;
couples holding hands, sharing memories,
there's just no getting away from it.
one day it "should" happen to me,
and there'll be no going back.
But until then, i'll stay envious.

    AWESOME! That one really hit me! My favorite part was "It's always used without thought.
    but only the experienced
    really know how it feels inside." That part hit me hard. lol Nice job! Keep up the good work!
