Utterly Alone

Disclaimer: I so wish I owned them, and would be more than willing to accept them as a gift!

Dedicated to Anna – who showed me the way.


Sitting alone in the dark

Tears stinging the back of my eyes

Holding it together as I count to soften my breath

Lashes blinking the tears away so not to fall

Lifting my blue eyes to look out at this strange city

Seeing the splendor

Yet being ever so alone

Utterly alone

I used to serve

Then I had a purpose in my life

Now I'm hidden away from sight

Never felt so alone as I do at this moment

So I slip away quietly completely unnoticed

How can a hero in a city full of people be utterly alone?
