false promises

False promises laced with hope, Intertwined in an endless silent symphony I feel numb, senses lost, A puppet in a masquerade, Unsure where to go, who to turn to, Alone in a crowded room Lost amidst the hubbub Cars swerve, people rush, Where they are going, I'll never know, Then there's me, walking so slow I almost feel As if I'm going backwards Either that, or immobile Frozen in time, every instant fleeting People leaving me, so here I stand alone With no one to turn to, nowhere to go, no one to lean on, No one to be there for me when it matters most So in the meantime, I'll just stay here alone
