Alone

Like the deserts baron landscape
Like the echo haunts the cave
Like the endless road to nowhere
Like the oceans drifting wave

Like the well that holds no water
Like the wind that strips the tree
Like the winters chilling silence
Like the raging storm at sea

Like the cloud that steals our sunshine
Like the cosmos blackest hole
Like the flame that slowly dwindles
Like the wandering, listless soul

Like the star about to fade away
Like the ships that drift apart
Like the the moon the hangs above us
Like the poet's frozen heart
