Lost And Alone Poem by Marea Johnson

I no longer have a reason
to check on you through the night
For you are gone
and I am lost and alone.

I no longer have a reason
to live another day
For you were my purpose
and now you are gone
and I am lost and alone.

I no longer have a reason
to make future plans
For you were my future
and now you are gone
and I am lost and alone.

I no longer have a desire
to be more than I actually am
For that would have been for you-
but now you are gone
and I am lost and alone.

I no longer have the need
to hear that I am loved
For it's only your love that I wanted
but now you are gone for good
and I will always be lost and alone

Forever searching
for that which once was
but shall never be again.


For my beautiful mother Virginia.
I miss you mommy. 1943~2008
