Souls float past whispered conversations,
city lights flare bright as others pass by,
steady swirling movements surround me,
reaching out, falling back through endless void,
deleting decades of built confidence;
So here I stand, alone.

Pairs of people dance through my eyes,
flocks of friends drift away,
flower of family wilts to dust,
leaving me to grasp for something, anything,
to fill the silence in my heart;
Here I am, alone.

Frightened tears dropping at night,
quickened breath with closing throat,
frozen skin with shaking limbs,
piercing my heart and mind till nothing exists,
begging for a savior in the night;
Please don’t leave me alone.
