I Walk Alone
All my friends leave me behind.
The string that ties them to me is cut
By sickness, accident, violence and war.
I walk alone until another joins the ranks.
Together we live and grow and love
Until the darkness inevitably descends upon them.
Why must I bear this timeless torture?
I long for one who'll walk with me
And never have to leave my side.
She could be the one to set me free.
I don't know if I can take the step
To bind our souls in never ending light.
