Alone

Alone

"Hello? Is someone there?"

The Silence answers, "No one."

You're alone.

The Emptiness brings a chill,

But you're sure you heard someone.

No, you're alone.

 Solitude, at times treasured,

This time travels with Loneliness,

Who jeers, "You're alone."

Calling a friend,

The phone rings...and rings...and rings.

You're still alone.

Despair taunts, and Fear mocks,

"Look at you!"

"No wonder you're alone."

Running to the crowd,

Your cry for compassion echoes back,

"Leave us...alone."

Retreating to your room,

The sound of Rain, and the cold of Darkness fall.

So alone.

Free flowing tears and a lump in your throat

Choke your audible prayer,
"Why did You leave me alone?"

The Still Small Voice responds,

"Don't trust your feelings. I'm always with you."

"You're never alone."
