I Am Alone

by Cuno

Yet another depressing poem. I'm not usually depressing, but my grades suck, and finals are coming up soon. I'm dead meat. Literally. So, I write depressing poetry! Besides, I want more e-mails. As always, R/R!!

I am alone

I know it's true

My spirit has flown

I sob anew


The others, they try to help me

But I shove them away

My pain they cannot see

So when they try to comfort, I say nay


Even I can't understand my own behavior

It's as though I'm possessed

Yet who would be willing to be my savior?

Who would give me a single caress?


You think I'm cold and unfeeling

And I seem to have not a single friend

Yet if I show my feelings

I fear it would be the end


I have put a barrier before me

And permit no one to cross

Like a locked door with no key

I would keenly feel a loss


Once I opened up my heart

To have it taken from me cruelly

Anew, the pain does start

And the wounds, they anger newly


So finally, I have given up

No one can change my mind

Tonight will be my last sup

Peacefulness I will finally find


At last, I can say goodbye

I have no more to atone

And I say, with a sigh

I truly am alone
