Alone

Little you know of the life that once was

Before the breaking of light. The soft sphere

Of the broken formed from the falling tear

Of your beloved, your forbidden cause.

All of our past came to this halting pause

When in my eyes, we became vain and clear.

Nothing was real! Now take heed in your ear!

I never sought to leave. You were my all

In all. In all I did, I thought of you.

Intended not our love, now gone, to fall

Like it did. And now every lone soul,

Forsaken as mine, welcomes me as one

Who knows the heartbreak’s swiftly passing role.

Alone you left me. Alone you remain.
