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. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Laurenel - felt this one deep I did - excellent writing here BUT even in the darkest hour I cling to that "something" - we just have to . . . xxoo |

Being alone is never a good thing, however not having hope is cosmically worse. I enjoyed this immensely. ~You might say I'm a Dreamer, but I'm not the only one... |

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. ![]() |
