Alone

Its windy, it’s noisy
Been here for long
But this is not where I belong.
Like a winter leaf blown,
I stand alone.

Hoping the wind will blow me away
Hoping I never see the next day
I stand on the peak
Watch the blue mountains turn brown
And I stand alone

Cry over my lost sight
Of no use, this blinding light,
Open doors, closed roads
Caught in a maze I spun,
Confused, I stand alone

He said he will be there
I turn around; only to watch him go
Now all is bitter or sour
My sweet senses long gone
Quietly, I stand alone

No one cares
But all question
All ears but none listen
Dreams I fulfill, but none my own
Smiling, I stand alone

I stand alone,
But can’t fly to my sky
And I wonder why…
You watched me soar
And then shot down
So here I again, I stand alone...
