Not Long Left - Forever Alone

broken mirror,
stained the carpet again,
arms falls ever close to the flame,
cries himself to sleep,
collapsed fucked up in a heap.

forever alone,
forever alone,
the silence of the phone.

lost his friends,
worse than the bends,
days go by,
no longer high,
hands shake mind awake.

sullen eyes room of flies,
stale beer shed a tear,
gone in the head better of dead,
sunk so low nobody could know.

loved to hate but tried to imitate,
lost love found pain,
tasteless, senseless so defenceless

(written aged 15 during a G.C.S.E english exam 1995)
