When the sun is sinking low below the horizons <br />My heart is gripped with fear <br />A feeling of loneliness creeps over me <br />I see the world deserting me <br />As I stand alone before the sunset <br />No hand leads me to the world of light <br />No voice speaks endearingly to my burning soul <br />All I feel is a serpentine fear <br />Slowly creep over me <br />All I hear is the weakened throb of a lonely dying heart <br />My hopes, my efforts dash with ruddy drops <br />On the ground at my feet <br />All I see around me are the fragments <br />Of broken dreams, unfulfilled desires <br />And with them I have to go on again <br />Into the dark, cold world <br />Where love or peace I have not found <br />The very thought of being alone <br />Fills me with dread … <br />I don’t want loneliness for a companion again <br />I have had enough and I am breaking up <br />… And as the last rays of the sun <br />Hide behind the crimson veil <br />An echoing cry escapes my lips <br />I only seem to say … <br />“Take me, Oh, take me with you <br />Leave me not alone again! ”<br /><br />Aneesha Myles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/so-alone-8/
