I Stand Alone (Poetry Book)

I Stand Alone (Simile)

In the night,

I stand alone.

As a raven on his perch.

The darkness has now engulfed me.

I think of him,

Even though it will probably send him farther away.

Sickly anticipation envelops my heart.

So here I am,

Lost in these perilous glooms,

Waiting for him,

With an unrequited heart.

In the empty night,

I stand alone.

As quiet as the desert.

For every tear I waste,

I lose another ray of hope.

He claims another piece of me.

As an invading army over surrendured lands.

I love him, 

But he will never return my love.

In the dark I stand alone.

Through the nauseating throbbing of my heart,

Waiting to be broken again.

I still fight to be present in his heart.

In the dark I stand alone.

As a lost wolf waiting for their mate,

I stand alone.
