Alone

by Bao Xiong

Who would have thought

This is how we would be

This is what has become

Of what was once you and me

I pour out my heart

But you don't say a word

But every soft whisper

In your heart I know is heard

When I do hear your voice

Calling out to me

I turn to run to you

Then know it cannot be

I reach out to touch you

To hold you once again

But you don't reach back

Leaving an emptiness within

My hand sweeps across the ground

Where you now peacefully sleep

Longing for you to reach up

And rise from the grave, so deep

I gently kiss your name

Engraved upon the stone

And am left to cry at your graveside

Left to cry alone

I long to know so many answers

As to why you left me without saying good-bye

And what caused you to hurt so badly

That you felt you must die

I wish I could have been there for you

And often think of taking your same route

But then I think of all life's blessings

All the blessings you did without

I will face all of life's battles

Without you by my side

I can't help but think if I had fought them with you

Would it be you who would have died?

I'm sorry I wasn't there for you

But I will never leave you now

I will see you once again

But for now must go on... somehow

Tears drop from my grieving eyes
