The Lone

Hey everybody,

Sorry I haven't written for a while things have been pretty heavy in my Urban Life.

I wrote this poem, it's called The Lone hope it tickles you...

I’ve stood up before hundreds,

And felt completely alone.

Shaken hands with a thousand,

But remained an unknown.

I’ve stood high in the clouds,

And screamed out in vain.

Written words on the wall,

That fell with the rain.

I don’t want to stand today,

I want to love and embrace.

But the lone girl beside me,

She has no face.

She turns to depart but in one final act,

Throws at me a burning match.

Our love embodied it spins through the air,

Taking but a second for my soul to catch.

I fall back on the bed as flames spread through my hair,

Encouraged onward by thoughts of love and despair,

Agony more than I can bear she leans in to whisper;

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
