Alone (Forgotten Cnt'D)

My eyelids flutter open As my face is warmed by the sun Yet the cool damp air keeps me still My brown hair is matted down I stretch out my arms High above my head warming up the cold muscles Slowly rotating my sore ankles Squeezing my eyes shut and then reopening them to the world The lake still and peaceful Crystal reflecting in the sunshine The fog risen from last evening Yet still just lingering unseen between the trees A sugary sweet pine scent fills my nose And it all comes back The phone call Every word of heart aching news "swerved, reck, dead..." Dead, no mom or dad left I'm here alone No one to comfort me New tears roll down my sticky cheeks And I just lie there Lie there and wait For what I don't know No one will find me, or knows where I am No one to worry about me anymore I just lay there in the misty morning Because I'm probably less alone out here Then back where no one needs me...
