My Lasting Minutes

Alone in the silence of my room,
I feel the weight of my endless gloom.
No laughter, no love, no one in sight,
Just the emptiness of a sleepless night.

The clock ticks on, time crawling by,
As I lay here and wonder why
I am cursed with this crushing pain,
This loneliness that drives me insane.

Memories flood my restless mind,
Of a life I left so far behind.
Of friends and family, once so near,
Now distant and fading, no longer here.

The darkness closes in on me,
As I drown in my own misery.
Desperate for a hand to hold,
A heart to love, to break this mold.

But no one comes, no one to save,
I am alone, a forgotten wave.
Tormented by this endless strife,
I pray for a way to escape this life.

But until then, I lay here alone,
In this endless torment, in this empty home.
Wishing and hoping for a better tomorrow,
When my heart will no longer be filled with sorrow.
