<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nAlone<\/span><\/div>\n
\nA figure draped in sadness, sorrows all alone.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nA ragged, scarecrow cladded clown<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAll upon his own.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn blue embroided skintight loner jeans,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nListens to his mental drone,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nPulsing senseless rhythms down,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nA silent suffering soul.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAlways been alone,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAlone against the tongues of torment,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAlways seem flown,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nFlown against the tides of trials.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nStood alone<\/span><\/div>\n
\nContemplating the him he sees,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIs he just a perfect image,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn a figment of his own imagination.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe body,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nCased in clothes craves freedom.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nTalk, always clawing, tearing people down.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nHis love, soaring higher, swooping low,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNever nesting,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nCries \u201cI am the loner, I am the loner<\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
\nA perfect image in a figment of his own imagination.<\/span>
