Alone I Live
#1 of Poems
Was feeling down and this poem just came to me
Alone I Live
All alone in abyss it seems
Where people only notice me in dreams
Time and again I try to play a part
Only to be reminded that the world is a sour tart
For one such as I who has a noble heart
Alone I stand apart
Years have passed me by
While I lived in the shadows nearby
For such a grace as beauty will fly
Never to be seen by my eye
Loyalty has always been my winning curse
Lost in the world like a mad nurse
Hope I still claim to be a winning verse
And yet I stand without someone to converse
I have heard that nothing gold can last
Yet when you have never seen such a past
How can you understand it so fast
In the darkness I wait to see
If anyone in this world will notice me
Love I have sought to the end
To be myself and never bend
Alone I find myself always to fend
Those who claim to be my friend
If ash is to blow away
The dust of another day
I would stand at bay
Ready to reveal my play
Flaws flow through us all
Yet I see those who stand tall
Trying to hide themselves from the fall
Of when I come looking for the long haul
Whispers upon the wind reveal
What other think of my appeal
In this world we seek to hide our shame
Behind a wall of hatred set in flame
Together we force upon the blame
Those who hide without a name
Friends have moved beyond in years
Leaving me with little more than tears
I can recall a time before
When I wanted more
Only to be left with this sad lore
This heart has never known love
Because I could never find my dove
Flowers and candles a gift to give
Yet alone I live
