Alone

Why can't anyone understand?
I just want someone to hold my hand.
To give me comfort, day and night.
To lift the darkness... to be my light.

Why do I cry to sleep?
I wish that I could only weep,
because of the love someone stole,
from my heart, from my soul.

Why do I continue in this fashion?
I fear myself with a passion.
Afraid of how far I will go,
to conquer this feeling, killing me slow.

What is this feeling deep inside?
I just want to run and hide.
Another fruit that is forbidden,
so I shall keep my feelings hidden.

Why does it hurt so much?
Because I love the one I can not touch.
So I sit, lost and alone,
in the dark, like a stone.
