In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour

James sighed and rolled down the car window as he drove.

I promised myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower

He smiled when he finally approached the intended landmark. What was it, exactly? Well, It was an old fortress that stood about forty feet high.

And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off

James took in a breath and began to climb, counting up how many feet he was going. He loosened his grip on purpose once he got to the thirty foot mark, but thought of what would happen once he was gone.

In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What its like when your shattered

James wiped a tear from his eye as he remembered everything thats happened. Laura left him once they got to college, George left him a long time before that. They both have happy lives now, and where was he? Still a shattered mess, a bowl left broken on the floor, seemingly forgotten.

Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people saying

He heard conversations as he imagined what it'd be like at his own funeral.

My God that's tough, she stood him up

He knew how Laura left him. She stood him up on the night he was going to propose.

No point in us remaining
We may as well go home

He imagined the attendees leaving after just ten minutes, not shedding a tear.

As I did on my own

He decided he couldnt do it and he slowly descended the large tower, unable to just throw himself off.

Alone again, naturally

He went home alone, just as he always did.

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do the role I was about to play

He remembered his youth. When he was with Laura, everything was better. Happier, how much better Laura made him. He used to smile and laugh around Laura, she made him brighter.

But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces

James sobbed in his room, crying as he had taken a blade and began to make cuts into his arms and thighs, the cuts eventually turned into carved words.

Leaving me to doubt
All about God and His mercy
For if He really does exist
Why did He desert me, in my hour of need?

James was now at his local church, his head down as he read a bible. He began to doubt his faith as everyone around him was singing their hymns, he sat silently, tears beginning to fall. If there truly is a god, how could he desert a suffering man?

I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally

James left the church, not a single man or woman saying goodbye, not even the priest.

It seems to me that
There are more hearts
Broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended

James sighed as he attemded a group therapy session that his brother forced him to attend. He sat and listened to everyone, and he wouldnt admit it, but it helped him a bit.

What do we do?
What do we do?

James pondered over his next course of action, as the meeting grouo had disbanded, and he was now,

Alone again, naturally
