I sit here in a crowded room
I see people all around
I scream out
My agony and pain
Yet they do not hear
No one understands
This darkness deep within
They go about their lives
Sometimes I hear the whispers
Behind their eyes
"Stay away from her,
She's not like us"

They can feel that I am different
But they do not understand
They cannot......

Only one truly understood me
But he knew too well
The coldness of this world
But he could not bear it
The darkness crushed him
Snuffing out that precious flame
Now I wander the the cold dark night
Alone in the faceless crowd
Looking for another flame in the void
