Alone Poem by Joan Paterson

All of a sudden I am alone...
all of a suddenly.
All of a sudden, I am alone.
All of a sudden he has gone... gone!

Nowhere to go and no one to know
whether I live or die.
Wishing each day my life away,
Wondering...why... why?

Give me a reason for to go on.
Tell me that he's not gone.
Tell me some lies to dry up my eyes.
Tell me I'm not alone.

Give me some hope and help me to cope.
Tell me that he'll come home.
Don't say he's dead, tell me lies instead.
Tell me I'm not alone.

All by myself...all on my own...
so suddenly... I'm alone!
Wishing each day my life away,
wondering...why... why?
