Alone

The wind can blow and the snow can fall,
I'll watch as the land is covered
in a sparking, dazzling white blanket.
But here I'll stay, once and for all.

I'm tired of standing alone,
waiting for someone to be my friend,
like you did so many years ago.
Though, then, I was without a home.

You built me up and showed me fun,
told me you'd always be by my side
but somewhere along the way, you
ran away and our friendship was done.

I decided to run away like you,
however I ran from everything
and everyone even myself.
You made it seem like the thing to do...

For days on end I ran away,
through the blinding storm and
freezing cold, scared outta my mind.
Yet I longed for pain to stay.

Somehow I found a big crooked tree,
sturdy and calm with nothing
for miles around, except a grassy ground.
I sat down and made it a part of me.

Forever this would be my home
hiding me in the shadows of its
huge trunk and letting me stay
quiet and alone.
