Little Corner...

ALONE

Since my early childhood days
My eyes had since been locked in haze.
As each day I watched the sun rise and set
The constant thought of death filled my head.

Since that time long passed, as birds have flown,
I have been melancholy and alone…
Everything I loved, all that my heart did own,
I took in hand and loved alone…

From that time since, myself I tried to convince
That the root of my sorrows were my mortal sins.
And since that time, immemorial, by good or ill,
My life became Death’s will—-a Cross was raised
On my Calvary Hill.

From that time on, I gazed at the sky, wanting to
Hide, wanting to run away and cry. All of my sorrows
I bore on my own. All my pain and all my hate, I took
To heart and bore alone…

And as I watched the stillness of the fading day, my
Heart was constantly alone in dismay. Each night I
Stayed awake to weep and pray, that God would give
Me my respite, or the end of my days.

And ever since then I longed to love,
And when I did it flew away and went above.
And since then and until now, in shadows do I dwell,
As I sleep, as I dream—-as I silently dream,
So akin to the dead it would seem…

I cry and groan, lamenting my fate,
Living in the words and memories of late…
For everything I loved and owned, I loved and lost
Alone. And even in my life still I’m on my own—-
Constantly I am ALONE.
