Alone….. what a heart-wrenching word,
Hope recoils in the face of Despair;
The purpose of Life becomes blurred,
A promise broken beyond repair
Alone….. riding the restless waves
Of loneliness on this stormy sea;
O, to send my woes to their graves
And revel in Love’s sweet company!
Alone….. too much time to wonder
When light and darkness converged in one;
Helplessly I watched Fate plunder
All I held most dear under the sun
Alone….. I knocked at Heaven’s door,
But in my anguish, no prayers were heard;
Now in dark hours I must implore
Weak comfort from the song of a bird
Alone….. now facing Life’s twilight,
Straight to my heart panic flings its spears;
What once was deemed a sorry plight,
Now becomes the sum of all my fears
