Alone - 2017

As I sit alone at my window,

The road is bare -

Drier than a desert.

No light can be seen for miles,

Not a single star to light up the sky,

Setting every molecule aflame.

From here you can't see Jupiter,

Nor Uranus, Saturn, or Mars -

Even though I'm the only one to notice.

Stuck alone in this bubble,

Lightless and airless,

Struggling to breathe.

Nobody can hear me -

Not through this thickened,

Darkened shell.

Everything I say bounces off the walls,

The ricochet louder,

Growing louder as my chest contracts.

Vision growing blurry,

Feeling the heat on my face -

The fire beginning to die down.

Flames become embers,

Embers become ash,

As I sit alone at my window.
