Non-Fiction

Sometimes I cry
When I think of all the loved ones
That I have left behind
And how old I have become

These days I am alone
And curse 
All the wrong choices 
That I have made

These days I sit
Writing poetry
About lost loves
And past memories

And when 
There is no one here
And the weight of those years
Falls heavily upon me

Try as I might
There is nothing I can do
But sit here by myself 
And cry
