Alone

Alone

I feel alone
I feel the silence that creeps around me
I see nothing; nothing that involves noise or movement
I am lonesome in this world

As I turn the corner of a street,
I see nothing but the road ahead of me
No cars, or loud noises
Only the noises of the woods dead ahead

As I enter the woods I hear small things
Like animals chewing on food
Or the wind that screeches like a child

I walk deeper and deeper into the woods
And the deeper I walk, the darker it gets
I feel afraid as the rain pushes down on me
I have no place to run; I have no place to hide
And yet I feel alone

The thunder growls and the lightning hurls
And it makes me feel more scared
I need somebody, anybody
So I scream for help, and yet none came
I scream louder and louder each time, yet nobody hears me
I am alone

The storm gets closer, and closer
And more harsh and dank
I sit by a tree and I sit alone

I hug my knees and saying the silliest things to reassure my self
I wish my beloved would come for me
I wish he came with me
I need protection, and yet I don’t have any
None can protect me from this world

I start to get colder as I lay on the wet ground
The rain whipping at me as if I were a slave
I lay there, and I cry although it won’t do any good
You can barely see my tears from the rain
“What is this world?” I thought.
“Nobody is here and it’s just me.”

The next morning I arose and see the woods in the sunlight
Still cold, hungry and wet, I lay there
Then I see a shadow; a shadow of a young man
And then I see a face, a very familiar face
Can my eyes deceive me?
Am I dreaming?
No. ‘Tis you. And you came and saved me
So I was alone with nobody there
But until that moment I was not alone

I am not afraid anymore nor am I alone
You carry me all the way to the village and took care of me
You had saved me
All thanks to you
