The Lonely Man

The body at rest. The eyes closed.
Into a world of darkness I descend.
Still there's always the little light.
But it blinds me so...

I'm becoming paranoid.
Though I know I shouldn't.
Have I come to expect something?
Perhaps something that I shouldn't.

If I die, just let me be.
No sad songs, no tears.
Let me die with dignity.
With just the memory of you within.

I hope we'd never be apart.
Despite what has happened.
You'll always be in my thoughts.
And I hope I'll always be in yours.

-The lonely man.
