Alone Now

I wrote this while thinking something along the lines of, "what if my family died and I was alone?" It's pretty bad, I know, but please help!!

Alone Now

Sitting alone on a park bench

Waiting for something to make sense

I shuffle my feet and look at the sky

Just wondering why

Everything seems so wrong

But the tears are long since gone

Just one chance to see your face

Would make my heart beat on

Looking back on memories

Long since made

I remember the love we shared

In those wasted days

What I wouldn't give

To go back to the days

Where all I had was family

They passed by in a haze

Why am I alone now?

Why are you not here?

You've been here my whole life

But suddenly I'm facing my worst fear

But suddenly I'm wishing you were near

But suddenly

Why am I still here?

And suddenly

Why am I still here?

It is a beautiful lonely poem. I have lost a couple of family members and your poem does touch on that kind of grief very well. Still, I never feel alone with my deceased loved ones in my heart but many people can feel alone in a crowd.

Dear, Ruby I. Nightingale
Thank you so much! I sort of just needed a rhyme there, do you have any ideas on how I can make that line better? Thanks again for your help,
CB

No, I am sorry I can't think of an improvement. If I come up with something later in the week I will let you know.
