Alone

A fiction poem about the feeling of being alone

A wolf howls to the night sky
I watch from afar, wondering why
Why is he wandering alone in the night?
Did he give up without a fight?

A man stands alone on a narrow bridge
His toes are slightly over the edge
He looks down a beigns to cry
As I watch, so do I

A child sits alone at a playground
Watching friends run around
But she doesn't know where her friends could be
She has been playing alone since she was three

A dog is tied to a tree outside
The rope and his neck always collide
He will never move from this spot again
He is no longer man's best friend

Being alone
Turns the soul to stone
It chills me to the bone
When I realize that I am also alone
