Just Me Alone Poem by Ray Hansell

Walking down these lonely streets
In the dead of night
The wind blows, the rain falls
The street lights light my way

Cars speed by but never see
The shadow on the sidewalk
I walk along in silence
For there's no one there to talk

So many things run through my head
Round and round like a ferris wheel
The cold makes my body numb
It helps to ease the pain I feel

I have no desires theres nothing I want
I have no place that I have to be
As I walk along the darkened street
Stray cats are all I see

I could be at home right now
But then I think what for
There's no one there to talk to
No one ever comes to my door

It wasn't very long ago
When her and I shared a home
But that happiness and good times
To me are no longer known

So now it's just me alone
To walk throught life each day
Believe that if it were up to me
I'd never live my life this way

Walking along the lonely streets
While the rest of the world is sleeping
It helps me keep my sanity
It's better then sitting at home weeping
