I was born alone in this world
and alone forever must i stay.
People come close to my heart,
but in the end, must go away.
No-one can read into the
thoughts and feelings of another.
Only hearts, not the mind,
are bound by the silken tether.
It is but rank foolishness
to expect them to feel your pain,
to find the same laugh as you,
for eternity together remain.
Yes, I say, I exist alone.
Though many be to lend a hand,
to live, honour and end a life
no-one but me can understand.
