Without... Poem by Alexandria Rios

All of the people I love,
Disappear into the night….
No end and no beginning,
Of my never-ending fright…

I wipe away the tears that fall,
Fall without an end in sight…
Why?
Why can’t I just keep them? ...

Unending roads lead me to open places,
I can never find my way…
It’s too hard to keep them close,
But it hurts when they’re so far away…

I will never be real again,
Never be myself…
When all else fails,
It’ll be my time…

My time to die…
