Alone
Facing the world alone
Is a heartache seared
Like no other towards
Your belongingness
To the world before you
In the ferocious realms
At which you tread
The longingness to be
One with someone
Is stronger than life
Itself, and the will to
Carry on dwindles
As time brings more
Loss, and there is no one
To share any happiness
That the great void
Shines upon you each day
As the moon tries to
Shower its belief upon
You, but you squander
Its powerful influence
By squatting at the entry
Of your heart, where
Nobody sits but yourself
And where your echo
Is your only companion
