ALONE


ALONE

You promised to hold my hand,

To guide my feet,

To give a shoulder to lean on,

To walk my long journey along with me.

 

In you I found a home,

I found comfort,

I had hoped,

That I would defy the odds,

 

Until that day,

That simple ordinary day

When my haven became my hell,

That day when tables turned,

That day I heard you sing in the most luring voice

‘Mirror mirror me.

 

Go, go….go

Where was I supposed to go?

You were my home,

And in anger you raised your voice,

Go, go…go

My safe haven,

I just stood rooted to the ground.

 

And now I know better,

I should have gone when I had the chance to,

For now I am despondent,

I writhe in pain,

For a future vanished,

But I know it is not your fault,

That she put Viagra in your drink;

Left us alone.

I should have never been there;

From that very same night you offered me a home against her wish,

 

And now you are alone;

Behind those steel bars.

They never will understand,

Will we ever buy our freedom?

But mine is fate sealed.

I do not hate you.

 

Desert Places


Desert Places:By Robert Frost

Snow falling and night falling fast,

oh, fast In a field I looked into going past,

And the ground almost covered smooth in snow,

But a few weeds and stubble showing last.

 

The woods around it have it–it is theirs.

All animals are smothered in their lairs.

I am too absent-spirited to count;

The loneliness includes me unawares.

 

 And lonely as it is that loneliness

Will be more lonely ere it will be less—

A blanker whiteness of benighted snow

With no expression, nothing to express.

 

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces

Between stars–on stars where no human race is.

I have it in me so much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places.
