All Alone


A might clap of thunder rouses me from the dead,

As the pounding of rain on shingles echoes in my head.

I turn for comfort, yet find you gone,

Once again, I am all alone.


As all the memories return with a flash,

I still hear the screams, and that final crash.

I regret the last thing I said to you that day,

Before the good Lord took you away.


Hero was the role you chose yet again,

You always were the perfect gentleman.

You seemed invincible; you won every bout,

I guess this time your luck just ran out.


Never again will I see your charming smile,

Or the way your eyes soften when you look at a child.

After all of the adventures and times we've been through,

I can't believe you're gone, and never knew I loved you.


Another blast of thunder breaks my train of thought,

I had hoped it was a terrible dream, but I now see it's not.

I turn for comfort, yet find you gone,

Once again, I am all alone.
