Poem - Alone

Alone…
I am all alone.
Nobody can hear my screams.
No one to hold me near.
No one to dry my tears.

Tears…
Burning down my cheeks,
Streams of liquid fire.

Fire…
Burning deep within my soul.
The pain ripping through me.
Tearing like a knife.

A knife…
Thrust into my heart.
Twisted, turning.
Shredding what I am.

Trying to resist.
Forced to feel.
No emotions.
No desire.
No love.
No pain.
No more.
