Burnt Existence Poem by Ridah Ellahi

i sit here alone
tears rolling down my cheeks
i want someone to dry them
but how can they
when they dont even see
i want to turn to someone
i need a shoulder to cry on
i look around
i stnad alone
in the barren desert called life
oh please!
save me!
help me!
never have i felt so lonely
i need someone to hold my hand
someone to hug me
someone to wipe off my tears
eradicate all my fears
but there is not a trace of a soul around
i stand all alone
this is how i started off
and this is how i shall end
standing alone
amongst the ashes of burnt dreams
burnt hope
burnt existence....
