Introspective I was alone

Thinking of every heart I've known

They were mine a moment brief

Their very owner was the thief

So close to happiness I was each time

But the hill got steeper with every climb

Each fall then harder hit

A different error I would commit

Frustration became my only friend

To continue on this lonely trend

Sadness had no business here

But her face I could see clear

She cried for me and I for her

She kept me warm through the winter

It was then she won my heart

When Frustration felt the need to part

Her love was fleeting as the rest

No matter how much Hopeful would protest

Hopeful helped me out the most

Until I realized it was a ghost

Just a shadow does it touch things

So then only a foolish man to it clings



As I spoke ere in rhyme

My heart was broken every time

Then each feeling in succession

Always led to one, Depression

It would prove to be Love's twin

A world without became my world within

No matter when my death it was

I knew emotion would be its cause

Every night I would pray

For emotion itself to pass away

But I never thought I'd live to see

The last one fall in front of me

They all were gone except the last

In my hands its fate was cast

I thought that Love would kill me yet

But of its blood my hands were wet



I had accomplished my final goal

The shackles came off my weary soul

But my Relief and Joy were dead

All sense of Satisfaction fled

I am the only one to blame

And the Pride I wanted never came



It was the death of all emotion

And I couldn't even enjoy myself
