Alone

A necessity of life~

All the love in my heart, the horrors I've been shown,

And the thing that doesn't change, is that I'm alone.

Do you remember, that gentle lullaby?

Do you remember, that weathered alibi?

"I fell, I slipped, and that's just life."

..."I fell", "I slipped", onto a knife.

Held in the hands of a friend, one so dear,

Held so close to my throat, why am I here?

Because that's destiny, I've been shown.

It's my destiny, to be alone.

Do you remember? Our lonely little secret?

Do you remember? I swore that I would keep it.

To save them, to help them, my heart was torn,

Returned with pain, defiled and worn.

What is a body, but science in an emotional shell?

What is life? But joy amidst the emotional hell?

This is my life, now that I have shown,

That even as I hate it, I am lost and alone.

Do you remember, that you breached innocence, past the gate?

Do you remember, that you bred a creature, now suffused with hate?

Long and hard I fought, for what was truly me,

no longer was I the victim, as you had made me to be,

How could I live, you might ask, with all the pain, and all the lies?

Because I long for the day, where revenge is mine, and your life dies,

How do you like it, this side that was shown?

Knowing it is our fate, that we will die alone.

Do you remember? Each whimper, each scream, every drop of strife,

Do you remember? That each movement I made, was to sharpen my knife.

A seer am I, for now it's your fate that I've shown,

Know that when I come for you, I will come alone.

Author's Note

For those that are looking for some context, this poem can be taken several ways.

Either as a literal poem, written from a victim to the one who hurt him,

Or, as a letter from death itself, to every mortal. Looking from the outside in, closing in on all life.

It's up to you to make the connections, but there is a little guiding light. Any and all reviews, good or bad, are welcome. Please keep it constructive, but other than that, go wild, not every work can be amazing, and I know that.
