I am alone
In the streets of a foreign city
In the night when the people empty
Out of this place
I am not home
In these pieces of broken places
In my mind where I feel wasted
and lose my days
I find a bottle and let it fill me with
dread and fear
while blackened vision kills the feeling
so I can lie here
On the ground next to glass and trash
And abandoned lifeless things
I see myself in reflections of
abandoned buildings
So I die to myself
Every time I close my eyes
I try to accept
the parts of me that lie
But I won’t let go
Of the dark beneath my eyes
And I can’t say no
To the voices in my mind
I am alone
