Alone

I sit here alone, crying in the night,

My candle alone is my soul source of light.

And as the tears fall onto this page one by one,

I think of you, my world and my sun.

I have been told to be careful, so I take care not to fall,

But this fall that I’ve taken is the worst one of all.

You were a good friend, but I was hoping for more,

Then love became an option for us to explore.

I couldn’t wake up without the sound of your voice,

and when you spoke your sweet words, my heart would rejoice.

But it all ended one night with a phone call to you,

And you left me like this, so sad and so blue.

Why did I fall so quickly? I tried so hard not to,

But it ended up with me only thinking of you.

And as I finish this poem, I try hard not to cry,

Cuz without you beside me, I feel I will die.
