So Alone

So Alone

Why did you go and leave me alone
to face the world all on my own?
So many questions in my head.
So many words left unsaid.

Life is lonely without you here
sharing the time I held so dear.
In my heart, I yet feel grief.
The pain inside, no relief.

This life has left me so afraid.
Am I to feel this to the grave?
I turn and look but no one's there.
Does anyone see? Does anyone care?

Shadows dancing in my heart,
the world around me cold.
Dare I try to love again?
Dare I be so bold?

Should I step beyond the pain
or wear it like a cloak?
Should I take a gamble
or suffer life's cruel joke?

I cannot live in the past,
I must step into the sun.
I want to know I've meant something
to someone or to anyone.
