Alone

- Carole McLaughlin -

May, 2001

My head is bowed, my heartbeat slow,

There seems no reason to go on.

Finally, I have come to know

My joy in life is gone!

I stand alone, no one to care.

My tears fall freely now.

I stand alone, no one is there

To hear me make this vow.

I vow to wander on this earth

With smiles for all I meet.

I also vow that I am done

With thoughts of love so sweet.

Life knocks us down with evil grin,

It takes what courage we may show.

Life laughs at all who fall in love

Then makes the teardrops flow.

I am alone, will always be,

Without a love that's true..

For he has chosen to move on

To start his life anew.

He'll live his life without me,

Without a backward glance.

He'll move on without a thought

Of giving me another chance.

I am alone, will always be

My heart will have no home.

Grief has become a part of me,

For I don't want to be alone!
