Aneesha Myles - So Alone

When the sun is sinking low below the horizons
My heart is gripped with fear
A feeling of loneliness creeps over me
I see the world deserting me
As I stand alone before the sunset
No hand leads me to the world of light
No voice speaks endearingly to my burning soul
All I feel is a serpentine fear
Slowly creep over me
All I hear is the weakened throb of a lonely dying heart
My hopes, my efforts dash with ruddy drops
On the ground at my feet
All I see around me are the fragments
Of broken dreams, unfulfilled desires
And with them I have to go on again
Into the dark, cold world
Where love or peace I have not found
The very thought of being alone
Fills me with dread …
I don’t want loneliness for a companion again
I have had enough and I am breaking up
… And as the last rays of the sun
Hide behind the crimson veil
An echoing cry escapes my lips
I only seem to say …
“Take me, Oh, take me with you
Leave me not alone again! ”
