The Feelings that You Feel

New Year's Eve can be such a lonely time for so many people. One year I got to thinking about all the people who are alone and what I would feel if I were on of them. The hopelessness and pain were so extreme I wrote about it and this is the result.

The Feelings that You Feel

New years' eve, I'm alone again
My mind is paralyzed with pain
I've nowhere to turn nothing to gain
As hope leaves in the driving rain

Another smoke I reach and light
Another drink to dull the fright
Perhaps I'll kill myself in spite
As hope leaves with the falling night

And you light a cigarette
And you say that it's not real
As again you deny
The feelings that you feel

Is everyone the devil's spawn
Is this why I can't go on
Is there no love to build upon
As hope leaves with the brightening dawn

And you light a cigarette
And you say that it's not real
As again you deny
The feelings that you feel
