laying alone in a cold bed
images of a distant girl
a half imagined love once had
twirl drearily through my mind
an empty parade of sadness

possibilities of happiness
taunting my every thought
when I've been abandoned once again
and the shadows crawl
in the back of my head

pained now by even those closest to me
heart betrayed gently by hypocrisy
when I can not trust my self
where can I find solace from
the tears in my mind....
