I Stand Alone

"..I share my world with no one else,
all by myself,
I stand alone.."

Dear joyce,

I am alone.
Unlike your world of friends and laughter, I am alone.

I live in eternal darkness, ever waiting for the sun to shine.
But it does not.
The sun does not rise on my everlasting night.

I wait in darkness, ever watching for the stars.
But they do not appear.
Stars do not cover my night sky.

I sit in despair, ever hoping for a reason to smile.
But I don't.
I don't know how.

I long for the warmth of love, reaching out for human faith.
But it is desolate.
Barren wasteland, as far as my eyes can see.

I seek in darkness, the way home.
But there is none.
I am home.

I search for laughter, ever hoping to hear it.
But only echoes sound.
And the mocking voice in my head.

I wish in darkness, for dreams to come true.
But visions they remain.
And broken they lie.

I stay in darkness,
now, always, forever.
I am alone.

always, lonely isle.
