A Lonely Man

The Gates are closing
The Gates are Closing....
The Gates are Closed!
The Gates lock and the keys never found
I stand on the outside as the Gates fade in utter loss.

I am a broken man
A Shattered man
I have been continuously hurt and rejected by the same woman
I am a shell of the man I once was

The deep loneliness seeps towards me and within me
I have lost you, the one who brought light
The Gates are no more.
Where once warmth and happiness prevailed

You rejected me
You bade me to leave your side
I fought for you, I wanted another chance
You couldn't even give me another chance
You didn't return to me in earnest
You chose him over me
And now I lay on this cold ground where once the Gates appeared

My heart in a million pieces
Everything around me dark without your love
I move forward numb
You say you love me? But how can you do this to me?
There is nothing more or less
I stand and walk into the darkness
In darkness, love dies a sad death.
