Sharing a poem I wrote in 2004

When I was a teenager I was convinced that my friends and I were going to start a band. I don't know why I thought that would be a cool idea, since none of us played instruments and we probably couldn't sing either. I took the idea so far that I built us a geocities website. We even had a cheesy name that we thought was cool at the time. It was clear that the band wasn't going anywhere, but that didn't stop me from writing a bunch of 'songs' for the band that were really just long poems. I've decided to share one today. The name of the poem is Alone, and it was written in 2004. I hope you enjoy.


 Sometimes silence is can be so loud,
I left you and I should be proud.
I should be a lot of things but I'm not,
soon I'll just be another person you've forgot.
You've controlled me,
you've left me unhappy.
I left you and I'm sitting in this dark lonely room,
I guess I'm in a state of gloom.
I'm alone again,
sitting in the darkness that'll never end.
Crying out your name,
...darkness and shame.
I wonder if you're still alive,
I wonder if we share the dark days and cold, lonely nights.
I sit in this dark and lonely place,
remembering all the memories I can't erase.
I just sit in this darkness alone,
You've caused all the pain I've ever known.
I left you and I'm sitting in this dark lonely room,
I guess I'm in a state of gloom.
I'm alone again,
sitting in the darkness that'll never end.
Crying out your name,
...darkness and shame.
The silence echoes in my ears,
drowning out my hopes and leaving my fears.
Sitting in this dark, cold, lonely place,
feeling warm tears trailing down my face.
I sit in this darkness alone,
You've caused all the pain I've ever known.
I left you and I'm sitting in this dark lonely room,
I guess I'm in a state of gloom.
I'm alone again,
sitting in the darkness that'll never end.
Crying out your name,
...darkness and shame.
