Alone. I hope you’ll one day forgive. A Poem written by Colleen Millsteed.

As night seeps in to end the day
I find myself once more alone,
I struggle with my solitude now
As my heart has turned to stone.

I cry at the world’s unfairness
Was this my fault or was it fate,
The natural sounds once loved
Now fills my heart with hate.

A cat’s meow breaks the silence
An answer in kind fills the air,
A bird takes up the chorus
How I feel, they neither care.

I sit here and I think and ponder
Do you feel any of this pain,
Or has your love totally vanished
No chance of coming back again.

I will stay and endure my loneliness
As it will give me the strength to live,
I’ll also pray to the Universe
That you’ll find a way to forgive.
