alone

over the years i had a reason
thought i had a purpose in life
but in life i was always alone
my only company was darkness
but even then i was alone
i had nobody who loved me
i only had a memory
yet slowly it slips away
that memory had a name
what was it?
why can't i remember…
it used to clear as day
but now i claw at my face
trying everything to remember
but all i do is forget
i ask the shadows for help
they dont answer
they never do
i was always alone
and i always will be
