Loner

Tears cloud my eyes with bitterness
My plight is one of woe
My halo is a dark gray cloud
That sleeps in skies of snow
Cold and dark and merciless
This heart knows nothing more
Tragedy accompanies me
From mountain to the shore
I turn my head to listen
Did someone call my name?
A stranger passes by me
And scorns me with disdain
How could I look at him that way?
As if I just might speak
To someone that I do not know
All hopes of contact, bleak.
I stumble on into the night
My soul bloodied and bruised
My conscience laden with mistrust
My good nature abused.
Sinking to the furthest depths
No hopes that I'll recover
Solitude is my best friend
Depression is my lover.
