My path is alone
Though roads may connect
None stay for long
They branch off on their own
And leave me all alone

I depend on no one
For none are worth the time
I care for no one
For there are none that I call mine
All I am is my own

No one else supports me
Extends that helping hand
I climb my cliff
With each handhold I grip
I know I am alone

No one stands below
No one tries to catch me
If I slip and fall
The pain is real and all my own
For I stand alone

I dream of one
Who’ll stand beside me
Someone to love
Who will never deny me
But all I have is my own

I teeter at the brink
My last finger slipping
My strength is failing
And my last thought as I fall
I die alone

I really like this one, the images are strong and the emotion is clear. I've never been alone, because the Lord is with me. I've been in some tough places, and the tougher the place the closer He is. This is good, and I hope you find a companion.

Being alone is never a good thing, however not having hope is cosmically worse.
I enjoyed this immensely.

Thank you so much for your comments. This was written during a very sad time in my life. Since then I have found that special someone and I'm not alone anymore.
