Alone

                       ALONE

      
            Alone I sit here, in darkness,
    Brooding over the past.
    People came and people went,
    As if in a myraid dream.
    Some looked by and some stood by
    But none remained forever.

                      
            I still have tears in my eyes,
    Unable to forget the memories,
    But knowing very well that it's of no avail.
    I still have the scars fresh,
    Scars left by many a friend,
       Scars made fresh by many others.

        
           I am hurt,
   But I still reach out
   To be hurt again.
   Life's been unfair to me,
   But I still hope to find someone dear,
   Someone true.
