Life’s Promise

Uncategorized 1 Minute
I didn’t ask to be alone,
  but I’ve always been alone

Living within the shadows,
  that in time became my home

I never asked to be alone,
  but I’ve always been alone

Each day a drifting footprint,
  among endless stepping stones

I didn’t ask to be alone,
  but I’ve always been alone

Each night a stark reminder
  of a dream that’s never shown

I never asked to be alone,
  but I’ve always been alone

The ending now upon me
—life’s promise still unknown
