'You're All Alone' By Remus, Aged 10
I cannot be alone in here
This barn, it holds all of my fears
The sun will turn its back on me
The moon; It shines. How bright it be
The days grow long,
the nights grow cold
I have no one in here to hold
Each month is harder,
Each month I pray:
Next month nothing!
Next month I'm saved!
But my dreams and hopes are all in vein
…but maybe there'll be someone on they way
A friend perhaps! To stop me moan!
And I will not look on this night and groan!
'Oh Remus, you fool,' I'll say with a tone
'Remember this well: You're all alone.'
