Do you really see me?
I'm the girl sitting alone in the corner
Ascencion into isolation beating me down

I've known love, it's a blessed wonder
My fire covered in ashes
Desire coursing through my veins
Give myself to the world again and again
Hope of renewed friendship dies before it begins

Complacent in my loneliness
My capacity to begin anew
Growing fainter with each passing day

Shake myself, cold water on my face
Scream "I want to live"
My heart sighs "why?"

Eyelids gradually droop
yearn for eternal rest
advance the days
as I sit quiet in this corner
waiting for nothing to happen

Alone, I have made a new friend
watch my sun rise
bask as the glow kisses my face

Once I was loved like that
Unconditionally
Yet like love
All things come to an end

Each night I shed a single tear
As my sun begins to rescind

In the dark
I raise my deities
I've spoken of my Moon and my Stars
Beside God they absolve the pain
Lifted from my chest

Slowly I crawl from my corner
Kneel under the midnight sky
Whispered prayers escape my lips
Heard by my God above

He has inflicted this solitude
Though my lesson remains unclear
I know I love Jesus

Patiently I wait
Thankfully I kneel
Love and friendship weren't the answers
Strong in my faith
I begin to heal
