• Alone Again

    Alone again, how much sorrow consumes
    The darkness and unkind presence that looms
    It’s an unrealistic feeling, it tears you away
    Sitting, waiting, and there I will stay
    Without another how do you cope?
    Mind heading downward at a terrible slope
    Wishing on the stars that someone was there
    But all that’s returned is a large blank stare
    Turn to my side and close my eyes
    Trying to find truth in all these lies
    Looking around, there is no one near
    And it seems that is exactly what I feared
    If only one person were there with me
    It’s that much clearer my mind would see
    I look back at the stars, pondering a while
    Looking for just one reason to give a good smile
    So finally I ask the stars why I am here
    Suddenly and quick my mind would then jeer
    As if to answer my query faces pop into mind
    I see the people who to me are so kind
    These people who to me are called friends
    And suddenly, finally, my mouth slightly bends
    I feel a smile erupt from that deep dark frown
    I am not alone, but have friends all around
    There may not be anyone with me
    As far as that goes I can see
    But I know my friends’ hearts are near
    And I always hold those hearts so dear
    I sit up finally, mind ablaze with thought
    I’m alone now, but in this world I am not
    Until I see another I will calmly wait
    Alone again, for now, but it’s never to late
    For I know my friends are still waiting for me
    And to them I am running, as fast as can be
