Alone

Filled with gloom,
     a feeling of dread,
     a loneliness so deep,
     overwhelmingly cold.
No where to go,
     no shoulder to cry upon,
     no one to turn to
     in my time of sorrow.
A life of misery,
     of candid secrets,
     dark memories,
     and living nightmares.
A cold so deep,
     a cold so filling,
     it embraces me,
     in a cold welcome.
Itching burning,
     a need so strong,
     for just one smile,
     for just one hope.
Faux laughter,
     faux smiles,
     faux welcomes,
     faux lifestyles.
A long time since,
     just one person,
     just one love,
     welcomed me.
Years passed,
     loneliness consumed,
     screams overwhelm,
     spirits dampened.
Endless nightmares,
     living darkness,
     lonely misery,
     til light extinguishes.
