Alone
Mother's laying on the ground,
Lifeless, breathless, dead.
A pair of glassy eyes, a plastered scream,
On her cold, pale head.
How could this fever strip me,
of all my childhood?
If I knew what started it,
Forgive...I never could.
I dreaded for this day to come,
Here it is at last,
Crying silent tears,
For my pierced and faded past.
The town bells ring,
A signal to all, mocking my own ears,
Over and over,
My God-given fears.
Is there no one here,
To shelter me?
Am I left to walk alone,
Along this dead and blackened sea?
In my bed at midnight strike,
Ebony all around me,
I hear mournful, deathlike
Screams of agony.
Mom, dad, seven brothers all past,
Ninefold misery,
Is what this life on earth,
Has bestowed upon me.
To this day I wonder,
What went terribly so wrong,
For me to earn this morbid sorrow,
And loves droned out song.
So, what happens now,
I shall never know.
Only that I wish to die
peaceful and aglow.
