Alone



Pain slow to mature
Knowledge hard to endure
Wisdom hides
Fear is bold
Loneliness
to have and hold
Here alone I remain
Willing not to face the pain
Anger waits
Tears do flow
Happiness
Where did you go?
Veins and tendons torn apart
Abrasions left on my heart
Hope dies.

Emotions raw
Bitterness
Like alcohol
Emptiness, hello again
Come greet me, your old friend
Rejection gloats
Affection dead
Tenderness
Where is your bed?
Reality smacks with questions now
You let this happen !
Tell me how?
Shame appears
Strength all gone
Full blown pain
LEAVE ME ALONE !
