7 August 2020 Song/Poem of the Day — No Place Alone

No Place Alone

I’m always home alone And when I see you walking by I turn away and close the blinds And peek through the cracks I stay hidden so afraid you’ll find me out

I’m no place alone I fear you’ll turn away I watch you walk by You’re my sunrise and my sunset

What if I step out and you see me there I’m ugly, I’m the beast next door I live behind my scars No place alone where it’s called home

Only tears to dreams what could be So no place alone in this dreary castle next to yours Do you even know I exist No place alone in this paradise Standing at the window in the shadow

I watch you laugh with your friends No place alone where you would want to be with me The flower at your door each morning, that’s me Have you ever seen me, I wonder I’m the beast next door, the scars are my face No place alone is for me and not us

Seems like it would be a long time before I step out into the sunshine My time is lonely, alone in this place called paradise My castle next to yours, with no prince next door No place alone for only the beast I wish one day you could see me
