Solitude



The pain was to great to bare.
      No one seems to care.
I stand alone with no hope or truth
     And you are asking me to cope with life.
How can I cope when all is gone like a
    Song that was written but never shared.
Like Adam and Eve that was forced
     Out of paradise.
I am leaving in my shame and pain.
But the fighter still remains who won
    The fight that was never fought.
