Poetry: Alone

by Rachel Gardiner

Created on: October 20, 2008   Last Updated: October 30, 2008

Solitary figures embrace my vacant shell

there's no place for emotion or feeling

Wanting, desire has left with the crowd

and death has left me reeling

Alone and abandoned I lie in my grief

Engulfed by flames of fury

Wanting, desire has left with the crowd

And death for me has no glory

A solitary figure teaming with bright ember

The fire rages within

Wanting, desire has left with the crowd

My thoughts are burning with sin

Alone and abandoned I lie all alone

My body a stench of the past

Wanting, desire has left with the crowd

And death was on me too fast

Ash has become me and I am long gone

there's no place for emotion or feeling

Wanting, desire has left with the crowd

my death has left them reeling
