Are you all alone
Or alone again
Lost and not knowing where to go
Do you walk the streets
Stare at your phone
Hoping to hear or see them
Knowing in your heart
They will never be there
Tag: the one
It’s been over 30 years
And you still have a place in my heart
I’ve tried to bury you
Beneath so many others
Others who made me feel less than
Something you never did
Yes, we were young
Yes, we didn’t truly know
Anything about life
And what it would throw at us
But what we felt was true
As true as young love could be
Now I’m afraid
Afraid I have been ruined
By a deep love
That will never again be
And though I am sad
And wish I had been what you needed
I know that you are loved
That you have loved
After me
After us
I’m dwindling in this life
I have never found
The one
If that exists
I am ok alone
But I would love
To find someone to
Light my spark
I do have a spark
I cannot light
On my own
Though I have tried
So many times
We are not meant
To be alone
So they tell us
I hope that’s true
I wish for
Someone who is there
For me
Made specifically
But deep down
I know
I may end up alone
Naked as the day
I came into this world
Alone
Alone
Without my spark lit
We all want this
To be true
Someone who is meant
Specifically for you
A fantasy?
Maybe
But I won’t give up
On my spark being lit
Just for me
