I am Alone

by James Collins (author's profile)

Transcription

I Am Alone

Surely I would frown
If I were to retrace my past
Loneliness refuses to shift her eyes
Her stare makes me cold
Unable to grasp goodwill
That tells me
I am all alone

I toil among scorpions
To nourish an empty pride
My heart by the pound
Is unworthy of a crown
If I were to see Moses tomorrow
I would still hunger
Because greed is a desert of loneliness
