Have yo ever felt alone,

like your out on your own.

Alice is alone,

no one in the house or the home.

Alice sits at home with fright

for her mom that night.

she left a message on the phone

saying she was coming home

but that was a hour ago.

Alice hears a tap at the door.

she opens it to see a highway

trooper, he said "I have some bad news".

He looks straight down at his shoes.

He says there was an accident and

her heart filled with grief.

He says it was a drunk driver.

Alice feels weak from the sudden grief.

Her face feels hot as the tears

fall freely.

The officer says he's sorry he asks

if there was an adult home and

Alice whimpers no.

Have you ever felt alone?
