Growing old alone
by Dana Buffo
I stare at the ceiling wall not knowing where to begin
I get chills up and down my body that are growing from within
Tears build up and stream down my face, and then I start to cry
Feeling an empty space beside me as I ask myself why
I toss and turn while hearing voices in my head
voices of only me questioning things Ive done and said
The feeling of vulnerbility takes over my mind
The heart races faster as I search to find
To find the purpose why ive been left alone, for all I know now is that
Ill grow old on my own...
