Alone

I waited, hoping

Nothing
I stayed behind
Nothing
I keep peeking out the window
Nothing
I am alone
More alone than I have ever been
Adrift
Abandoned — again
Sad
Full of sorrow
My health declines
My will nearly gone

I wait
Alone
Unwanted
Unneeded
Unchosen
Second, again — not even
Tossed aside
Ground underfoot
That night
In the phone booth
That storm
Thunder roared
Lightening cracke
I cried

Damaged then
Damaged now — perhaps, broken
Broken beyond repair
Alone
I weep
My heart cries out
My soul suffers
I have no one
I have nowhere
Alone before
Alone now
Alone later
Alone
