Alone in the Dark
Alone in the dark, I sit and stare at my door wishing and hoping that someone anyone will come in and touch me so I won’t be alone in the dark.
Alone in the dark, I cry and hold myself hoping that no one can hear me cry alone in the dark.
Alone in the dark, I look for the light and pray that I won’t be left alone in the dark.
Alone in the dark, I think about how I have not been obedient and true to myself let alone anyone else so I sit and stare alone in the dark.
Alone in the dark, I wonder why I just don’t get up and turn on the light so I won’t be alone in the dark.

You
one minute
two hours
time stands still
comfort in knowing you understand
rhythmic tones that dance two-step in my head
words spoken and thoughts complete
fly so high that we never compete
You are my Muse
