Alone...

Short...

The span of life,

So fickle...

Yet so precious!

...To precious...

Easily taken for granted,

Put aside...forgotten.

Mortality not understood

...till loved ones...

Expire!

Stark reality does intrude!

Bones feel the scrape...

Of Death's ice cold scythe!

Reminders of our time,

Flood our waking hours,

While nightmares dance,

In sleeps embrace!

To awake we cry,

A silent thanks.

Alone...alone!

To not be the last!

The last of all we know...

No knew!

To watch...an eternal curse...

As all around...slip...

Into unknown nothingness. 

Alone...

Forever alone...

This world we enter,

We do so into loves embrace,

Yet we depart...alone...

ALONE!

To be the last, to see life die,

Is this the curse we must bear?

In death, our punishment...

To die alone?
