Alone


Am I alone?

I was looking for someone

In a thick mist,

but I couldn't see anyone.

I could see clearly

but my mind was clouded

with fog so dense

that I felt like I was being suffocated.

I was lost.

Despair sank into my soul

and I yelled, tears steam down my face

and I felt a knife stabbing me

in the pit of my stomach.

I feel nothing

but emptiness that stays

and teases and leads me on.

I only see pain

I wanted to die.
