Life In Solitude: Death's Accomplice
Living- alone I stand
While in Death, together stand we
Swiftly and surely they fade
Hopeless am I wondering the fate of me
No rapture in the future,
For eternity I can not see
Wishing the best of them
Wondering how this could be
Life alone lived
Where Death I can see
For I am his accomplice, and waiteth he for me
Solitude- my fear
While of my friends, I’m ashamed
Left behind am I
Alone to play my game
Wishing, praying
That he knows I’m not to blame
They all broke the mold-
I never fit the frame
While ever so gently my body’s been lain
While I await for my accomplice to call my name
