And I, in my own loneliness

cast along these shadows

That seep within my desperate soul

I cherish it not, the barren wastes

Left behind in its destructive wake

That stifles my weeping voice 

I have warded thee off by my foolish hands

Denied you passage to my domain

I am left in wanting of that affection

Which might have saved me of this place

And I, in my own loneliness 

Have taken to my grief alone

To hold it against my heart by lock and key

Though it is a burden I no longer wish to keep

Yet It is one I am loathe to share

How wasteful are my days

That I am left aloof, and sullen,

Where grey clouds but loom ever lower still

To shroud the light and steal the day

And I, and my loneliness

Thrive within the gloom
