ALONE
Alone in the dark what do you see?
I see nothing for darkness surrounds me.
Alone in the light what do you see?
I see more light it's all around me.
Alone what do you hear?
I hear nothing for deafness has silenced me.
Alone what do you taste?
I taste nothing for bitterness escapes me.
Alone what do you smell?
I smell nothing for my senses have left me.
Alone what do you feel?
I feel nothing for nothingness is less than me.
Alone what do you need?
I need nothing for no one cares for me.
Alone what do you fear?
I fear nothing, but death is a constant, and always upon me.
Alone whom do you love?
If I could, I would love thee...
Part Two...
Alone in the dark, what do you see?
I see the darkness, as I live in its obscurity.
Alone in the light what do you see?
I see light so bright, it blinds me.
Alone, what do you hear?
I hear their laughter as they mock me.
Alone, what do you feel?
We are taught not to. It is our way you see.
Alone what do you smell?
I smell his scent, forever etched in memory.
Alone what do you fear?
I fear he knows what I wish, and will reject me.
Alone what do you taste?
Bitter tears, as they slide down my face so easily.
Alone whom do you love?
Jim, only him, for eternity.
