What Happens Now

What happens now?
Now that the darkness is here.
I know I won’t see the light again, by dawn I’ve disappeared.

When do they come?
To show me the way.
Am I to see old friends, relatives, pets I once loved that have gone away?

I feel alone.
Alone in this world.
I see a reflection I don’t know, where did I go, who is that looking on?

What happens now?
When do they come?
Or is the next life alone, alone, like this previous one?
