Alone

This is a poem I wrote on December 17, 2008. As the title says, it's a poem about being alone. I was definitely drawing more from my past than from my present when I wrote this one.


I sit here by myself, shivering in the cold
Wondering how long it will take
To fill this hole in my soul
And the emptiness in my heart
Where love once resided


I try to forge on ahead, all alone
But it's a lonely and painful road
This solitary life is not for me
And I've also come to know
That I can't go on like this alone
