Alone Poem by Cati Walthall

You hold my hand
We talk
We stand side by side
But I'm alone
Living in my own little world
My world is hell
And I'm trapped inside
You see me from the outside
But you really don't know what's going on on the inside
For years now,
My faith has run dry
My hope never lasting
and my soul died long ago
You're doing all you can to make me smile
but truth is
There's nothing you can do to revive me
I'm gone
I walk on this earth,
But my soul does not
It burns in hell
Just like the rest of me will when my time here is done
Why have you not lost hope in me
Like everyone else has
Even I gave up somewhere along the road
Almost makes me think Maybe I'm not so alone
But then I remember the hell I'm living
Then soon I remember I truely am...
Alone
